If there were a righteous man within a hundred miles, let me find him.

The rights of the people are infringed, and I'd like to know why.
Why are sales more important than content?
Why is poetry considered "Untrue"?
Why do people believe that words have no meaning?
If this sentence were understood, doesn't that insinuate everything we question about meaning is a lie?

More importantly, do people know the proof that Jesus is the Christ, and maybe they aren't pretending?
Will God damn someone for ignorance? This I don't know.
Why is racism a worst crime than theft these days?
If Racism were a three, cussing would be a two, and homosexuality would be a ten; yet, we have it all backward.
Why is adultery considered noble, when it obviously hurts so many people?
Why is Homosexuality considered noble, when no society can function justly which accepts it?

Those and many like it are the questions I ask. Questions for poets.
