Life's Two Way Street

LIFE'S TWO WAY STREET Lives are often wasted meeting all the wrong folk Sometimes all too often; it is past a flaming joke Salvation only comes with meeting someone just like you Who doesn't do on to others as on to you they would do But remember wasn’t there a time you were just like that So maybe it is just life’s way of getting its own way back Take all that you have stolen and, enjoy it while you can The lesson will go on either way; after all, it is God’s only plan Never moan about the players in your life, you’re a player too Keep doing on to others, and then gripe when they do the same onto you So quit what I have done to deserve this, you only have yourself to blame They all saw you coming even before you ever came And doing on to you as once you did onto them It is from here that all your real problems stem Life isn’t cruel to you just because it can It is teaching you a lesson so try to understand Your sin was committed long before you ever came again upon this earth But your sin will continue to be repeated to the value of the sinned worth So you may feel the utter pain one felt when you treated them like a game Made them feel hurt, lost and worthless, undignified and left with shame So if you are ever wondering why this continued hurt never ends for you It is because the one you hurt never had the chance to ever forgive you You blew them so far apart from this world, you can never meet again Wishing only that you understood now, they were only being a friend Your guilt is written on your face, your innocence you can only fend And your sin on this earth is repeated with no hope for it to amend Indiana Shaw . . . -_-
