Tolerance

Tolerance
~~~~~~~~
Thrust upon me is the knowledge of my frail and wretched humanity
My most feverent desire is to be greater than I am
The truth is a hurtful thing especially coming from oneself
The highsire of us all passed unto men his laws
Of this one transgression I am guilty as sin
Delivered from high on a mountain, judge ye not one another
Is he who judges those who does the same to others any less of a hypocrite?
I am displeased with myself, but this step I take admitting my shortcomings 
Just to make matters a bit more acceptable in my sky fathers eyes
