Brian Strand Poet Verse

Missing the Mark Why We Kill

re-post inspired by Debbie's contest

We like sheep have gone astray,
if He marked our transgressions
who would stand.

Tempted,ofttimes
tormented,self-conscious,self-
seeking missing the mark;stepping
over the line,impulsive,doing what
we do want to do.

Encouraged into
doubt,we deceive ourselves,listening
to the father of lies,’Til the Holy Spirit
convict us of this sin.

It is sad however, to miss the mark repeatedly and keep on hurting the same persons for profitable gain, in business, relationships or otherwise. We can kill by thought, word or deeds.
