Under the Lights

In the bible it states that no sin is more fraudulent than another,
so in this mighty country that we have labelled the Home of the Free,
why do we judge each other, constantly dropping the judicious mallet that belongs to God,
point fingers and ridicule the next man,
determined to cause fright,
but inside we are petrified it might,
be our turn to face this judgmental fight,
what will they say when your sins are broadcast... Under the Lights

Jesse, I've been here for a little over 4 years. That's why I'm popular on this site. I am true to my friends, and once I am hooked on a poets poem, no one can break that bond. Not even if the other poet hates me, or envies me. I live for God, and my children, no one else... Well, I live for poetry too.....LOL... and coffee.... Hugs
