Its the Heart Stupid
Don' be so old fashioned!
These are the nineties,
everyone does it.
Sound familiar?
It should,
these are mere sound bytes
of a self centered generation.
The I want it now generation.
The generation with an attitude.
Call me old fashioned,
for I continue to believe that sin in the fifties,
is sin in the nineties.
A span of time changes nothing but perception.
Today our president endorses partial birth abortion.
Like garbage, we find babies in trash cans
and school children shooting their classmates.
Lives are being destroyed by drugs,
while drive by shootings escalate.
Teenage pregnancies are at an all time high
as H.I.V. takes its toll.
Divorce has become an accepted practice,
and living out of wedlock has become the norm.
We continue down the slippery slope
as we search for someone or some thing to blame.
In reality we need not look far,
For it's the heart stupid!
Yes, call me old fashioned!
All these continue to be a stench in the nostrils of God.
