Just Stating the Obvious
In this world truth is not always black and white,
It comes in multi shades of gray,
But there are truths obvious in my sight.
I's obvious to me that God exists.
The beauty of creation testifies,
To His creative genius in our midst.
Good versus evil is a war being waged,
And the earth is the battleground.
Evil is of the devil and one day he'll be caged.
Murder is a crime and so is stealing.
Hate is such an ugly word,
While love is so appealing.
Honesty is a virtue to obtain.
Telling lies can only lead to trouble,
Being truthful can prevent much pain.
Every human being belongs to the human race.
The color of our skin makes no difference.
We all have the same Creator and are in need of His grace.
There are poor and there are rich among us,
Most of us fall somewhere in between.
It's a blessing when those who have are generous.
Now these things may be obvious to me but not to you,
And that's okay 'cause we are not the same.
But I'm convinced that these are true.
