Each of Us Might Follow a Bright Star

A poem for Epiphany about the dangers of politicizing revelation: Each of us might follow a bright star, Perhaps to a redemptive revelation, Intending, then, to change the way things are, Passionate to socialize salvation. However, please beware of what you do: Ambition, even selfless, can turn sour. No truth fits all, though burning inside you, Yearning less for paradise than power. © by Nicholas Gordon To see this poem on my site, go to https://www.poemsforfree.com/eacho4.html.
