Frank E Gibbard Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Contemplating today's sermon that I could mount I pondered a subject and in what respect one jumped up like the vermin up those "proverbial drainpipes," Respect indeed is what we need a moral band of aid to salve the wounds of a society's self-hurts and its selfish brutish works that each new TV show alerts us with their utter dispossession of class or semblance of dignity or any disposition to accord a scintilla of real worth to the specimens they select for our delectation. No the human zoo is open for all to view the exhibits defecate as animals are wont always to do. If that's reality keep it out of plain sight sweep away this ordure, restore humanity order please. Ah where was I oh yes my Sunday sermon simply say respect is all we really do need that and sufficient to breathe feed and breed as Beatles say love is all you need respect ... respect your father and your mother your sister your brother each other your fellow creature the world the clergy the lay the straight and the gay the buddhists the good-ists dare I say the atheists all goes you know to making goodee and god, let's pray, with respect and love good grass which as you know one needs to make hay ... good day!
