Today I will walk in
the light of a greater good.
Today I will walk
with my DueJustice brothers and sisters.
Today I will walk
with our men and women of our clergy of all faiths.
Today I will walk
with our non-profit agency leaders who serve the poor.
Today I will walk
with my union brothers and sisters.
Today I will answer
the call to justice.
Rev Barber said:
"it is emotionally sick to deny people health care."
I would add it is
evil for the wealthiest and most nation in the world not to provide medical
care to all their own citizens.
When judgement day
comes?
Shall our leaders say
Lord, we could have asked the wealthy do pay more, but that would have limited
to 5 or 6 mansions only Lord.
While they raise
taxes on the middle-class lord. They reduced taxes by half on the wealthy since
the 1960s.
What shall they say
Lord?
They fear asking the
wealthy to pay more might mean lowering their standard of living might fall.
Shall our legislators
cry out Lord we could have could have ask them to pay more to help the sick,
but the sick should have taken care of themselves.
Johnny Cash sang the
"The man going round"
"There's a man
goin' 'round takin' names
And he decides who to
free and who to blame
Everybody won't be
treated all the same
There'll be a golden
ladder reachin' down
When the man comes
around"
I don't need the man
to come around to stand up for my brothers and sisters who are sick.
I don't need the man
to come around to stand up for my brothers and sisters who are hungry.
I don't need the man
to come around to tell me that 49 states spending more money on their wealthy
schools than their poor schools to stand up for our poor schools.
I don't don't need
the man to come around. I need to stand up for those that can't stand up for
themselves.
I am my brother's and
sister's keeper, and they are mine.
Today I will be a
Moral Man.
