Kyle Kriticos Poet Rhyme

Sins In the Sand

We are taught not to judge but how far does that go?
Yes, we're all taught to love but how much of it shows?

We like to throw stones at the devil's scapegoats
Yet the ears that will listen are hearing this quote:

"Judge not lest ye be judged", and isn't it true?
Or are some people so bad that our judgment is due?

Did you think that salvation was exclusive to you?
If you light fires of judgment won't you be consumed?

I can't speak for you but I don't want to judge people
After all, under God we are all loved as equals

When I join the accuser and his self-righteous band
Somehow I can see my own sins in the sand

Caren Krutsinger April 2, 2018 at 9:57 AM You have taken a serious subject, and made it so clear, concise, accurate, and you have taken a risk that few have taken. But hopefully more will. You have said it all Kyle, the way only you could have said it. This was God-inspired, and it shows.

Silent One April 2, 2018 at 7:52 AM We throw stones at the devil taking care to hit him, but still he influences so many.. Great poem Kyle...
