"The Power of Music" by William Sydney Mount‘Reparations’ by T.M. Moore The Society November 7, 2019 Beauty, Culture, Poetry Owe no one anything but to love one another. —Romans 13.8 What shallowness, what an impoverished view of human life, that reckons men to be machines that will dispense whatever we desire if only we are careful to insert the right amount of cash. That peace and justice can be purchased like a soft drink or a bag of chips should well be scoffed at. Do we really think the rage will cease once reparations checks have been received? Do we so little understand the soul that we think this new version of the dole will satisfy those who have been aggrieved? __The currency we need to satisfy __this debt is sadly in too short supply. T.M. Moore’s poetry has appeared in numerous journals, and he has published five volumes of verse through his ministry’s imprint, Waxed Tablet Publications. He is Principal of The Fellowship of Ailbe, he and his wife, Susie, reside in Essex Junction, VT.
