Whatever Is, is Right
from Popes 1734 Essay on Man
regarding his great chain of being
perhaps Pope was reiterating Paul
the Apostles letter to the Philippians 62 CE “ . . . whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable
-- if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things . . .”
he couldnt help himself from thinking
and
thinking very hard
and all that occurred to him was
Whatever Is, is Wrong
President Obama conceded Bush
Juniors Administration shit so deeply in the punch bowl for its touted American
Century that it is too tainted to walk
away from
American forces are now to remain
in Afghanistan beyond 2016 beyond what
he had projected the 1000-strong garrison
to protect the embassy in Kabul
he didnt say so
tho Secretary of State Colin Powell did
he
warned(the man should have walked out on the Administration bellowing it) If
you break it you owe it*(thank you Pottery Barn for your ingenious customer
care adage)
to have said so
President Obama might
have cobbled it nicely not only into his distinct failure to extract America
from its Imperial wars
but America as a whole too
particularly those Blue Red and
White Americans who elected a myopic Right to gerrymandered districts to Obstruct
and Obstruct and Obstruct and then foment apoplectically at its abject 2012 failure
to elect Willard Romney
No
he couldnt stop himself from thinking
very hard that Whatever Is, is Wrong
