Opening A Can Of Butt Hurt

Thinking Out Loud

By Earl W. PearlPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

So many times we’ve voted wrong

Then after that, we mope

That candidate won’t last for long

Once given enough rope

Do those enforcing HOA’s

Walk a slippery slope

Is justice for whoever pays

Just peddling “soft soap”

Are doctors who push opioids

Mere dealers selling dope

By numbing pain, creating voids

For those who couldn’t cope

Am I a congregation pawn

For pastor’s selling hope

Will I be damned for betting on

The Vatican’s next pope
