Stray curs gather. Alone, they appear docile, even beneficent, thinking
to persuade those whose favor they seek that they are able and willing
to serve for good.
But the populace has spoken. No, they
do not want any of these curs to
be their guard dogs. So the curs go away,
sullen and defeated - but
not
entirely resigned.
Individually, they are quite harmless - until they pick up the scent
of blood. They gather together, and their countenances and mentalities
suddenly change, manifesting their true cowardly
natures.
It is known that even quiet, soft-spoken
individuals change to vulgar, raging brutes
when gathering into a mob, which takes on a belligerent personality
of its own. So stray dogs coming together become bold, growling, and
baring their fangs, prepared even to kill.
These curs return with a vengeance,
hoping to gain for themselves that which was refused them by the owners
to whom they first came crawling,
with
wagging tails and (what they thought were) pleasing
whines and barks. But they were refused. Now, they do not return seeking
permission to
serve
as guards for the owners. No, they return as a pack with power in numbers
and brazen boldness to seize for themselves what they crave but what
they still pretend to guard.
Is it right what they do? Are Somali pirates just?
Cursed be they who, for personal gain, seize by force that which is
not theirs.
Cursed be they who gather in the
name of principle and virtue, but who
are there to take undue advantage. These are worse than unpretentious
pirates.
Cursed be they who make unholy alliances and jump into any bed with
any partner to please themselves and those not worthy of pleasing.
Let all sickness and disease come upon them. Let
them suffer the wrongs they seek to perpetrate. Let all those who deceitfully
and selfishly
seek advantage and favor for themselves at the cost of the people they
presume to serve be cursed with a curse that will not be abated until
there is no strength left in them. Let there be no success, only failure, in
that which they propose to do.
Let them be cursed of God, and let all people know that God reigns in
Heaven against all ungodliness over the affairs of men.
May God strengthen those who seek to govern with
discretion and honesty for good and give them grace and wisdom - all
that they need and more
besides. May they be granted the courage, opportunity, and privilege
to do without compromise that which is right.
God bless the government that the electoral has
appointed. Cursed be they who would subvert His will of the day,
especially those in pretense of righteousness. Let the pack be broken
and scattered.
