I am not sure why I wrote this but I get tired of perfect people elevating themselves in such filth that they are consumed. All I know is that we all seem to have someone to send this to. Here you are on a pedestal So elevated you are On your throne of deceit So pure are your intentions That you could do no wrong Except tell me how imperfect I am Judge me not from indignation But from the worth of my heart Do not be righteous to me When your trash is worse than mine Let me be imperfect in God’s light Self elevation at the expense of others Just shows how much faith you have And in those words so Lilly white That the shadows in between Turn dungy gray I will give you space But do not take mine Go instigate on your time Do not drag me beneath contempt In the garbage of your treasures So trash me if you must And I will bid my time Unleashing the filth in such ferocity That you will choke on your own words In such distain my world Will be cleansed of you As yours will fall upon deaf ears Email me at [email protected] D.Lester Young (05/26/02) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) http://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?AuthorID=5012 [This message has been edited by D.Lester Young (05-26-2002 05:21 PM).] |

Don't blame you at all. You know it says in the Bible..." extract the rafter from your own eye before you extract the straw from your brother's eye." Good write. I enjoyed your rebuttal! |
