The Evil of Good

An excuse we need
to ratify this evil
in existence is,
so many hide behind God
here just to cast the first stone.

And surprised they will be should those stones one day "accuse" them, Harry. You'd think by now as adults, we'd "get it". Always, Annalise

Yes, we see this happening a lot everywhere, Harry. The world has to be a more respectful of others' differences!

How often I speak about this very same issue....This is a lovely quote: Don't judge me because I sin differently than you do! We ALL have our issues...and God love us ALL! HUGS!

yes as they say people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones but they think they are shatterproof because they use God as a shield xx

Harry; this is a perfect title for this poem. I understand very well what you are saying here. There are a lot of people that pretend to be so Religous and use the name of God only to benefit themselves. Others have commited other sins that they shouldn't have. I know - i knew them. That is the Evil of good. thanks for sharing. Lucilla
