Understanding
Why do we know what’s the truth,
but still believe in lies
To be righteous is all of common sense,
but no one ever tries
I’m guilty to the words of the Lord,
man made laws I do not abide
Who is to judge another‘s experiences?
Not you, most definitely not I
First I say thank you,
please forgive is my daily request
Ask for guidance and understanding
recognize how I’ve truly been blessed
Made of flesh, blood & bones,
all my sins I must confess
Unselfish and very merciful,
what a feeling, being loved by the best
We lie to deceive, chastise just to cause pain
steal, kill, lust and envy,
With no shame, living in vain
Idolizing false figures, easily led by the masses
Living in hell on earth, soon to all be ashes
I know nothing at all, still find myself asking
exactly who am I?
Whatever I know not now,
he’ll teach me over time
Nobody’s perfect, we find our selves seeking for truth in all the wrong places
How can sinister smiles be on Gods faces?…..
