MODERN PRODIGALS

by Maren Tirabassi

March 1, 2016

Luke 15: 12 a- 13 The younger of them said to his father, 

“Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me." 

So he divided his property between them. 

A few days later the younger son gathered all he had 

and travelled to a distant country, 

and there he squandered his property in dissolute living.

This is prodigal, too –

money spent on Pentagon budgets

instead of returning veterans,

the tax shelters for corporations

so they need not support

education budgets,

lobbyist payoffs for those who vote

to keep guns accessible

to the ones so ill they will shoot

the next grade school class,

movie theatre, place of worship,

the profligate use

of oil and coal and natural gas –

destroying the air and earth and oceans,

of children still unborn,

not to speak of God's creatures

extinct forever.

Before we congratulate ourselves

for the warm feelings

of generosity

to those who squander the future

in living so dissolute,

wantonly entitled,

careless of the wellbeing

of the young and the old ...

Remember.

We invite and reward prodigals

all the time

with robes of protection

from consequences,

rings of power, rich feasts.

Remember this before you criticize

the one who named it,

who did not want to join the party.

It's Sadie Hawkins Day! Oh, how the times have changed. ;-)

Can we Bear another election?

The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory has a Bernie Bear.  Turns out they also have a Hillary Bear.  

But what's really amazing is that they have a bear for each of the candidates of all stripes.  

I couldn't bear to take a photo of the others, though.  Heh.
