Their Own Consequence

I see people who hurt with words and lie
Hide their true selves and never really care
They are avoided, for they will not try

To change their ways, be genuine or care
I have seen people commit crimes easily
Hide their true selves and never really care

These same people live their lives secretly
One day, they will face their own consequence
I have seen people commit crimes easily

They rely on people with prominence
To carry on with their bad, reckless, ways
One day, they will face their own consequence

They must be parted from, to save the days
Sadly, their choices hurt others always
To carry on with their bad reckless ways

It takes strength to endure the hurt that stays
I see people who hurt with words and lie
Sadly, their choices hurt others always
They are avoided, for they will not try

Powerful write with good advice, Heidi. I am so tired and upset, especially for those that say they are christians, but it easy for them to think that it is alright for them to spread and write malicious comments. Bravo for you to say something , keep it up ... Hugs
