Bonnie Jennings Poet Blank verse

Heavenly Finger Pointers

Listen you who think high minded
Who's placed yourself at the doors of God
Who speak for him wagging index fingers
Forcing yourself into chambers so Holy
Rejecting tolerance of men whom God loves
Issuing judgements on reverent behalf 
Might find oneself in dubious places
Just a warning friend to embrace humility

Becca Teagan May 31, 2016 at 4:48 AM What a great poem, and a good reminder for all of us! Nice one. Bonnie Jennings May 31, 2016 at 7:23 AM Ps and most importantly, thank you! I forgot about my manners Bonnie Jennings May 31, 2016 at 7:22 AM Thank you Becca. The poem seems a judgemenal and it is because in honest reality, all people judge. It's in our nature. It's when we do harm to others because of or ignorance that judgment becomes deadly for other humans and creatures

Connie Marcum Wong May 30, 2016 at 2:34 AM If we could only remember" do unto others as you would have them do unto you" the finger pointing would end. I know I have been guilty of judging, mostly family, but I do try. Your poem has a great message Bonnie. ; ) Bonnie Jennings May 30, 2016 at 6:46 AM Thank you for your wonderful conversation. I too have pointed my finger and judged when God was watching and was more than likely rolling his eyes. So thank you Connie for reading my poem. Have an awesome day or night

Carl Fraser May 30, 2016 at 1:18 AM We should always remember its all about him and never about us. Great write Bonnie. Blessings Carl Bonnie Jennings May 30, 2016 at 6:48 AM Thank you Carl. We all jump ahead of God and think we're doing him a service but instead of helping we are often hindering that which we haven't any knowledge of. Thanks Carl
