Seeking Lamanites
Mosiah 10:1 -- "And I caused that there should be weapons of war made of every kind, that thereby I might have weapons for my people against the time the Lamanites should come up again to war against my people."
And who makes war upon the Saints if not themselves betimes?
Whose pride and sloth and hubris in the eyes of God are crimes.
Instead of seeking Lamanites to blame and smite and fret,
we're better off to ask ourselves "O Lord, what lack I yet?"
So send an army, if you must, inside to your own soul --
to win the only real war for the world's complete control.
For if we fight our own desires til they are made pure,
we can be sure the Lord of Hosts our battles will secure!
