Double Mind

Who told you 

             to be afraid

of those who hate justice

 

What has happened 

             that you let slide

      love , joy , peace , gentleness

forbearance, goodness

             meekness , faith , and hope

 

When did become you 

                                                  a slave

to the vanities of the nations

 

Where did the exaltation

                of loving-kindness

         disappear

 

Why did you hide

            the light in your heart

 

Those oppressors of opinion

           where peer pressures

you to run

       to reveling and debauchery 

       greed and drunken promiscuity

a man of ingenuity

                             is hailed to renown

but a man of virtue

          and trust     is thrown down  

Those who sit in laughter

                             of the broken         and infirm

Whose contempt and arrogance 

                             did no understanding learn

Benevolence of a person

                              is in mockery reviled

Charity for those less fortunate

and jests               the violations of a child

                     Can you not decide

what character you will wear

                     conform to some pompous a*s

whose opinions you don't share

          to sit long hours in drink

and think           abuse and rape a joke

           minds that are truly clouded

and disappeared like smoke

The nations sell the lies

                             like many sacks of grains

dense clouds of darkness

                             conceals what truth remains

These are some decisions 

                            that all in life will face

consider carefully your choices

                            once set can't be erased

 

Galatians 5:17-22
