Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

A Set of Scruples

Last year’s peace protests have left us bereft;
untold violence, fires, murder and theft.
As long-held morals find themselves interred,
society reaps a conscience that’s blurred.
Peer pressure rules the day, threats from the “gang”
dictate,  Cheap counsel chosen, Boomerang!  
Bounce back,  enroll as one of God’s pupils;
His Word teaches a fine set of scruples.

Also read your winning piece on Morality; excellent advice, bringing to mind, "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he'll not depart from it." Duet. 11:19.

Mark Koplin January 12, 2021 at 12:52 PM Congratulations on your win in my contest!! I really liked your style! Reason A. Poteet January 12, 2021 at 7:17 PM thanks, Mark, for the comment and for the placement inyour contest. Great topic for these days when dishonesty reigns in DC. Our nation's a bloomin' mess. My prayer is that regardless of politics, the citizenry will remain hopeful through a faith in God not government.
