The Art of Readjusting Definitions to Reality

It’s easy to distort definitions and change the meaning of words in an attempt to justify our own opinions, desires, feelings, and behaviors. However, to do so is often a departure from reality. Spirit-led artists can help us get back to actuality. People who do that are my favorite artists.

I’ve been thinking about some distorted definitions lately. Here are my attempts to realign a few of them with their literal meaning.

Love is love but
Sex isn’t
Always love.
Love is to
Put another’s
Wellbeing
Ahead of
Your own.

Being great
Means refusing
To spread hate
And cruelty.

Cruelty is cruelty
Whether it’s
Prenatal
Or postnatal.

Calling the destruction
Of reproduction
A “reproductive right”
Is an oxymoron.

War is
Postnatal
Abortion.
It makes some
Human lives
Disposable.

Christians are people
Who are witnesses
By admitting
And letting Jesus
Overcome their
Weaknesses,
Participants
Not attendees,
Doers of the Word
Not passive hearers,
Disciple-makers
Not stale religion
Partakers,
Enemy lovers
Who don’t hide
Under covers
But speak truth
With kindness
And love.
