Notes About The Poem

Babel, Bait, Blame, Blank Check Poetry Contest

Jesus emphasized the importance of remaining true to one's word by saying, "Let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' Anything beyond this comes from the evil one"

 

BLANK CHECK

Title 4/  BLANK CHECK 
Quote: "If one's actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others."  Ayn Rand


Darkness came over that afternoon
As Christ died on the cross for our sin.
Lying is moving away from Him.
We need absolute forgiveness.
Honesty, true humility
To ourselves we visibly choose
To forge a heart approving view.
A home of immaculateness
A solid hold woven of truth
And honorable behavior.
There is no reason for given
approval of others judgment.
