Poem

I look at the old testament 
and the laws were harsh 
an eye for and eye
and a tooth for a tooth

Yet what were they trying 
to achieve
peace, punishment and revenge
in an effort to stop the crime

The old testament
was about laws 
to keep the peace
the new testament 

Is about attitudes 
to keep the peace 
If you don't do the crime
you don't need the laws

a friend of mine told me a story
about a man that got married 
they decided to have roast chicken
taking out the chicken 

His wife cut off the legs and wings
asking why, she said "that's, what you do,
my mother cut of the legs and wings
and I cut off he legs and wings"

catching up with the Mother he asked
"why do you cut of the legs and wings
when you cook a roast"
she replied "that's what you do,

that's what my mother did, 
and that's what I do"
the grand mother was still around
catching up with her he asked

"why do you cut off the legs and wings 
when you cook a roast chicken"
she said "I had a small oven
I needed to cut off the wings and legs 

to cook the roast"
when the bible was written 
they never had prisons 
the laws were harsh to keep the peace

they never had fridges
food like pork would go off 
to prevent getting poisoned 
perhaps the laws were needed

but life has changed
we not longer need the same laws
we need to change with the times
we need to grow and learn

To build a greater path with love
to create attitudes not laws
to create love 
not war
