Tarnished Gold

What has happened to the Golden Rule
That gold is tarnished
People don't care anymore
You don't agree
So they hate you
You have no right to exist

Evil has raised
Its ugly head
Any good from God
Must be repressed 
Destroyed

I'll shout you down
I'll do unto you
Before you do unto me
People want to be angry
God does not exist

The Golden Rule
That gold is tarnished

So sad, but true. People need to get their Bibles out and read them closely. Love and prayers to you, Gina

Sadly true, Timothy. Where it does exist though really shines.
