Left, Right, Left, Right.

To me Bob Dylan was more than a folk singer entertainer plucked from obscurity and with a voice that gives us all hope.  Even when singing songs that were not his own, I feel he had often something worth saying.  I am thinking in particular when he sang “you gotta serve somebody.”
Never before have I seen such a distinction between right and left in politics.  Yet to me that fails to define the times.  To me right now there seems to be a war between good and evil.  As the ad I have referred to before says “there is good in bad people and bad in good people. 
It is my contention that no side of politics will provide a saviour.  While either side of politics can do what they consider good, the bottom line for me is no created being can provide eternal salvation.  It seems to me things are coming to a head.
Why would I think that?  Means are available now to wipe out humanity.  Good intentions would say that will never happen, but I do not trust us.  Our track record is not good. 
Never before has sudden destruction been so easy to rain down on the unsuspecting. No sooner does one nation unveil a weapon then others try to counter it.  Yet out of the blue comes another weapon that renders all obsolete and can blow me away – literally.  I have no idea I am a target until I am hit.
This does sound like a doom and gloom scenario and it is, but it does end well.  It is where Bob Dylan’s words ring in my ears.  It is all in seeing the world not as a battle between right and left but between good and evil.  Evil cannot overcome evil.  Only good can do that.
Things are different for me these days.  Every morning I wonder what tragedy or injustice has occurred over night.  Periods of quiet are becoming fewer and calamity is occurring more often.
Yet I live in hope.  It is a hope born of knowing all this was possible, yet all this will reach its natural conclusion.  Good is working behind the scenes and will step in when we have shown what we are capable of.
