Kim Van Breda Poet Free verse

Relative Morality

RELATIVE MORALITY

We live in our comfortable
‘anything goes’ world
where the word
‘tolerance’ is a code
word meaning
…don’t preach
I have no intention
of changing

Commitment is defined as
‘the mood’ of the
moment and truth too
‘complicated’ to pin
down emotion
…don’t preach
I have no intention
of changing

Our modern day prophets
‘preach peace-love- peace’
 in messed up worlds of
‘pleasant propositions’
with small minds
…don’t preach
I have no intention 
of changing

To stand firm on a truth
‘impaired’ world stage
  generation full of
‘political leverage’
God’s ancient truth
…please preach
for our desperation
 needs changing

Timothy Hicks October 20, 2014 at 2:55 AM You tell like it is, Kim!! I find that many churches are on opposite spectrum's. One side preaches hatred and self-righteousness while the other preaches "love" - in the diluted sense of the word. It should have both. Compassion, humbleness, while at the same time maintaining the things that God claims is sin STILL is. Kim Van Breda October 20, 2014 at 3:24 AM Thanks Tim... and also for your feedback on my poem "Oblivion". I know... this world is going to spin right off it's axis one day with all the immorality and corruption and violence. I always say... the Bible is not a multiple choice book--- where you choose the rules that make you comfortable with life. It's all or nothing.
