casting stones (a poem)
2011-06-14
When it’s there to plainly see,
the sin in someone’s life,
am I first to cast a stone,
or will I carve the line?
When it’s there to plainly see,
the sin in someone’s life,
am I first to cast a stone,
or will I carve the line?
Long after the war has ended,
it rages in our hearts.
Continually choosing sides,
is driving us apart.
Finding some small difference,
separates the two.
In the war of us and them,
it’s time for us to choose.
We all have weakness, strengths and abilities.
How we handle them can make all the difference.
When I was young I would read my daily horoscope
to see what was NOT going to happen to me that day.
