Let Me Say'

Boy, the events in the last few days,
A killing of great proportions, so near an yet so far away.
Delight in the world, joy, jubilation, howling in the streets,
Boy we chant, "We did it, wow, what an amazing feat."

This world let me say hasn't learned a darn thing,
When we celebrate in our world over a killing.
Let me say, "Who are you or me to judge?"
Who are we to circumvent the Lord, and hold this amazing grudge?

As Christians, our moral decay is rampant, is really stinks,
We, we allow ourselves to celebrate, that is really sick.
To forgive, to be merciful is our purpose, this is Divine,
But, we slay others overseas, what glory is that, it's a total crime.

A Godly nation like we profess to be, a God fearing people,
Would be more apt to  take care of the elderly, the sick, the feeble.
Just because they hate us, the extremists, we are supposed to be Christians,
Not applaud a death, not create death in other nation, all we do is defile our religion.

This is so true, Robert. Although I felt relief that bin Laden was gone, I also felt some guilt. Judge not lest ye be judged has always been my motto. Who am I to judge another? You have summarized exactly what Dane Ann (another Souper) and I just finished discussing on the phone. We should not take joy in another's demise if we are followers of Christ. I, too, can see the similarities in our work. Your messages always come through so clearly and that is my goal in writing. Love, Carolyn
