The Penitant Man

God forgives the penitant man

Governed by righteous attitudes

But saves his wrath for those who stand

Steeped in self-righteous platitudes

Strong statement! I agree... There is no humility, mercy, forgiveness being shown in self righteousness, only harshness, coming from "I am better than you, therfore I can judge you, attitude...) We are all imperfect human beings...God is the True Judge of what is hidden in our hearts. Appreciate the proverb like quality of this poem. Warm regards :)
