Double Mind

Who told you to be afraid of those who hate justice What has happened that you let slide love , joy , peace , gentleness forbearance, goodness meekness , faith , and hope When did become you a slave to the vanities of the nations Where did the exaltation of loving-kindness disappear Why did you hide the light in your heart Those oppressors of opinion where peer pressures you to run to reveling and debauchery greed and drunken promiscuity a man of ingenuity is hailed to renown but a man of virtue and trust is thrown down Those who sit in laughter of the broken and infirm Whose contempt and arrogance did no understanding learn Benevolence of a person is in mockery reviled Charity for those less fortunate and jests the violations of a child Can you not decide what character you will wear conform to some pompous ass whose opinions you don't share to sit long hours in drink and think abuse and rape a joke minds that are truly clouded and disappeared like smoke The nations sell the lies like many sacks of grains dense clouds of darkness conceals what truth remains These are some decisions that all in life will face consider carefully your choices once set can't be erased Galatians 5:17-22 COPYRIGHT © 2011 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC
