Our World and Sin
Whether it be yesterday, tomorrow or perhaps even today, we will all fall victim to the hands of sin.
May that be as deceitful liars, greedy thieves or through our judgmental eyes, it is inevitable.
For are we all criminals in search of honest redemption or are we all samaritans on an ever-swaying bridge with no railings.
Has it ever been a fight of good versus evil or just two forces trying to balance out.
We are people bred with values of hope, mercy and empathy, in a society of envy, jealousy and corruption.
It is so natural to want what we don't have, to turn against those who are different and accept others because we’re alike.
Are we now loving each other for the reasons we once hated?
How is it that our perception has become so distorted that to keep sane we put others and ourselves in boxes, trying to label all we see.
We have built the walls around us to define what everything is and to move away or to break them down, puts us all on unstable ground, when really we stand upon the fault lines of others.
Our method of bringing us together is tearing us apart.
All born were we, brought into the earth, blood and bones alike, each human with flaws.
We must be merciful for the right reasons, with or without the recognition and gratification of others.
We must not hand ourselves over to the straining grip of sin, because we were taught flaws belong with the crimes against mankind.
Fall because human temptations will make us all to succumb to sin not because the temptations others face have made you feel less than human.
