amnesia sets in selective memory forgetting the gossip written in a rhyme poison inked words splatter on the screen to demean to be mean misjudge tattle taler repeat hater carries on... others pics forgotten other words forgotten hate fueled hate sated the true state not debated never stopping to think could be wrong has to push down to be strong and so it goes on wrong after wrong and like the publican feels good to pray and say "Thank God...I'm not like others....a sinner I'm a winner!" Morality laden A chaste maiden Oh, but erased is not defaced there is another record One with a trace Seen by another Judge ONE not common place a remembered name a remembered face and I? Well, I rest my case.... For I am nothing but a sinner in need of grace Eileen Manassian

Eileen, I always say we all sin, we might just do it in different ways so who are we to judge.. This is an awesome write. It is a joy to read you again ;) hugs Wilma

Don't let anyone steal your joy.. We tend to focus on the negativity and in the end they don't have a role to play in who we are in real life.. continue to write not for anyone else but for yourself hun.. be blessed ;)

Thanks. Sweetie. I've lost my joy in writing due to certain things here. I hurts. Not being able to express myself is a very real pain. I'll keep in touch on FB. Thanks for your kind words. I was in need of them. Blessings.

We are all sinners, one way or another, but it is not up to us to judge others, or them us. We can only judge on what we see on the surface...what lies hidden can well reveal a different story. I hope you're feeling better...you know what to do if you need an ear....hugs // paul

I am a sinner too sweet Eileen...and I am nothing better than the worse... Yes We all have our weaknesses indeed...and its wise when we acknowledge them.That helps us to be more compassionate,loving and forgiving. I love your message in your poem.How are you dear lady?

Thanks, Tim. My heart is too full to comment on what's transpired. It's ok. I carry on knowing it's all about hate and prejudice for there are examples far worse on the site. Thanks, dear

Really good Eileen. I too am a sinner and who am I to say one person's sins is greater than another's.

Excellent, Eileen! Very true and convicting, and well written, too!

Thank you, dear. It's easy to point out things in others, but if we would only see what hides in our own hearts. Partiality...seeing sin in others, but not in our own souls....will not go unnoticed. Thank you for the visit. I have been unable to write and post for some time. Laura. Please be patient with me, and thanks for posting. Hugs, dear.

I've had several blows here of late, Jan. Almost knocked the breath out of me. I don't understand vehement hate. I understand difference...I understand boundaries. I want people to keep to theirs. I just want to write. Thanks for the visit, dear. I'm recovering.
