Good Sunday to you, Plebs!

Here's a sonnet I wrote a while back, suitable for a Sunday meditation:

Good God, Why Me?

by Duncan Cary Palmer

You could have chosen someone far more fit

To champion your honor in debate.

A brilliant scholar, schooled in word and wit,

Whose logic captive minds might liberate.

Perhaps you should have picked an artisan,

Aesthetic sensibilities replete.

His stunning output minds and hearts would win,

His artifacts, a testimony sweet.

Good God, Why me? Why choose this reprobate?

Why bother with a man so deeply flawed?

I feel so weak, so unable of late

My fellow man to turn toward thoughts of God.

But, as you've chosen me, I'll sing your praise

Throughout the universe for endless days.

~FIN~
