Afflicted

The simple desire to cause yet another pain
As on everyone else' parade you try to rain
Always looking down at the tip of your nose
For you just don't like people and it really, really shows

With so much anger in your heart and evil filling up your mind
You are so eager to start with the very first person that you find
With your mind so set as you judge them from head to toe
This too is what you will get with all these seeds that you sow

Never reaching out or just extending your hand
For all that fear causes doubt never allowing you to understand
Slowly it is killing your soul with every act in each day
But you are paying the ultimate toll for now you have lost your way

Challenge your heart and absolve your soul
For you have to fulfill your part if Jesus is to pay your toll
But you continue on just such a path being who you truly are
But know that behind you God's judging wrath won't be that far

Job 4:8
Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity,
 and sow wickedness, reap the same.
