"double Standard Logic"

Do you believe there is this conceive
A double standing meander?

In this world of current strife
Actions and words cuts as a knife?

Would you change it if you could
Is it not plain that you should?

Do you not know from whence it came
If you did would you take the blame?

Would you hang your head in shame
And live up to your Savior’s name?

Love’s tree of life is not to blame
And to blame a devil is very lame!

Rather you blame a serpent in a tree
Or would you rather be made free?

Tempted to believe in a natural fruit
`Tis Eve’s good and evil needs the boot! 

For `Tis the double standard  meander
The brain the goose the mind it’s gander!

This is a very important truth
Straight from Moses’ Love booth

Feed me of Love from source above
Give me feedback, my Poet Soups of Love!
                   Smile!

It is so much easier to say "I am a Christian" than to live and act as a Christian should. In spite of all we've done, He still awaits with open arms. Love and understanding can do more than modern medicine to cure the world. Vince

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. But when the brain is the goose and the mind is the gander that is a mess,Huh. The question is are we in control of our mind, is the Spirit in control of our mind, or is satan in control of our mind? How do we get in control of our mind with the Holy Spirit totally in charge? Keep the creative pen flowing to keep up on our toes of thinking. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work for you are right on on most. Sara

You're right on Moses. We are responsible for our own actions and non-actions. Thanks for sharing.

Blame others never solves problems. The conscience always guides us to do what is right, but it is not always so easy to follow, the body being the antagonist. Thanks for sharing a thought provoking write. Love and blessings, Caroline.
