Lessons

Peace is how we wish to live,
But often we take and never give.
How many times have you hurt 
someone?
Lies, pride, reasons why justice 
never won.
The price never rewards the cost,
Of those that leave you alone and 
lost.
Mending the broken is another form 
to atone,
Among the ways to our heavenly 
home.
Why are we so broken and weak,
Compared to he who gave his other 
check.
Do you live by the Word or by this 
world?
Tangled by the webs we have 
whirled,
How much must be learned or be 
told.
Peir into yourself or your soul 
already sold,
Which was never yours but you 
seem to believe.
know through life is to honor those 
that love thee.
But we bend to our selfish deeds to 
over come everyone,
Realize that the prize isn't worth 
sacrifice, but boast you won.
Learn so you don't commit the same 
offences,
Take note for this may open you to 
his life lessons...
