Mediocrity of Life

Gentle and mild the righteous fall Tricky and slimy the believer drink's gall Falling from the ladder grace of life Materialism and lust the lovers love Crimes and hypocrisy the haters want Till you are driven from the path Failures and needs the world attract Entreating you into sin to subtract Till you lose your way on the path Bad company and lustful thoughts Holiness and righteousness without faults Only the rightful can ever dwell with the cross Beware and never be shaken Behold and watch never to be stricken Down by the mediocrity of life

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
