Rubric Scale

Four days 
Its has been four days of turbulence,
That as contorted my mind
Trying to express the problem that hunts me,
We sin and sin,
But which one is amiss,
Lie,Steal,Kill,?
Please show me the mystical scale that weighs sin,
Giving us the power to judge,
We walk these corrupted streets,
Passing one another,
Oblivious that we are looking through a mirror
How different are we?
Sinner from birth but somehow we become separated,
Why does my sin goes unnoticed but his goes to  trial?
Now we decide when judgments comes,
Deluding Gods voice ,We strive for control,
Banishing who we please,
And Mercy on Those who stay,
Dethroning who is unworthy,
Betrayer our brother and sisters,
Why are we so Lost?
Please can my question be answered?
Are not all sins equal?
If not show me the rubric,
Why is the sin to lie normalcy,
But to Steal an anathema,
Four days I have been lost,
Trying to understand the weight of sin.

Sin is sin...Jesus bore it all and the only way is through that spotless lamb that was slain who takes away all our sin..The question is do we love him???Therein lies the answer..Once we know, we don't want to keep on sinning but we want to be in a loving relationship with him..Enjoyed reading your work..I am glad that I chose this one to read today..I hope that you have a great afternoon..Sara

Brilliant piece of writing and very thought provoking. We walk these corrupted streets, .....Why does my sin goes unnoticed but his goes to trial? Very striking lines showing your great introspection on our deeds. Great write my friend. And many thank for your priceless comments on Ground Zero. It's an appeal to save that place as a Garden of God. Love and best wishes always.....Ravindra........Jamecia Buggs.

Booked for stealing, huh. Who are we to judge, but we do. You've illustrated confusion nicely in this poem.
