Moses 7:18

Moses 7:18 And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.

Sonnet 680 Moses 7:18
by Tom Matkin

Well, how to be united heart and soul
When pride and selfish interests inspire?
We must, as many, make one common goal
Conforming to the truth and not desire.

Well, how to overcome the bane of sin
When evil's so ubiquitous and strong?
We must in humble attitude begin
By cleansing our own vessel of all wrong.

Well, how to do away with poverty
When programs seem in vain and overpriced?
We must be sure that all our charity
Is rooted in the purest love of Christ.

One thing for sure in search of Zioness
Success depends on personal progress.
