Love is the lifeblood of humanity
Hate is the cancer of mankind
Evil deeds done in darkness
Will always come to light
It matters not the length of time,
The hour of reckoning
For offender it shall find
There is no place to hide
Silent crime is still a crime
Wretched souls hunger for
Worldly pleasures,
Undaunted by consequences
Lust, murder, power, greed
Stimulate the sinful senses
Though iniquity does not bleed
Oh, but when the second strikes
To meet the Maker,
What reason will suffice
To justify your reckless life
Can you show Him your face,
Or has Lucifer reserved you a place?

Sounds like the last chapter of Ecclesiastes, I think. GREAT opening 2 lines. that alone could have been a poem without anything else, sort of like the short nuggets found in Proverbs.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy. I'm not a Bible scholar, although I've admired people who could quote verses without even thinking about it.
DeleteI write my feelings, pretty basic stuff.
Maybe I will use the first two lines as food for thought! :)
