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.
