Who Makes An Enemy

Who makes an enemy of a wounded child of God, Who claim to understand God’s amazing grace They walk unrighteous paths with feet unshod. They choose the path to perdition, long and broad, While all the while seeking to impress, save face-- Who makes an enemy of a wounded child of God. It is they who perpetuate the bothersome fraud As they go about, day by day, from place to place, They walk unrighteous paths with feet unshod. They solicit plaudits and stand among the flawed, Clasping minions who share their earthly space Who makes an enemy of a wounded child of God. Eschew the hypocrite; with them do not be awed Do not seek their welcoming unholy embrace, They walk unrighteous paths with feet unshod. God has created every soul to walk upon the sod To do His will; to longingly search for His grace Who makes an enemy of a wounded child of God They walk unrighteous paths with feet unshod.

I appreciated perusing your Poem, Milton, with significant implications, extraordinary counsel, and attempting to unite individuals in believing that we are, for the most part, equivalent before God. All that we bear to is regard trustworthiness and to be on the good ways.
