The Difference-Deference Dilemma - a poem


The Difference-Deference Dilemma

 

It’s not our Difference that divides us

In things we think and see

It’s our Deference to a leader

That guides who we will be

 

Does our Deference cause our Difference

Or other way around?

Does our Difference cause our Deference 

Not sure which way is sound

 

If one Defers to Mickey

Then Minnie Mouse is best

But Juliet is sweller

If Romeo’s the test

 

The problem you’re presented

And one you must embrace

Is choosing who you’ll follow

In whom you place your faith

 

If Difference guides your Deference

Then tribal is your way

If Deference tops your Difference

With him who leads you’ll stay

 

A conundrum that is vexing

Which path is best to take?

Which leader shall I follow?

Eternity at stake

 

The answer is quite simple

It’s Him who paid the price

The one that you must follow

We simply call him Christ

 

Signed

 

John The-Not-So-Beloved
