 The First Stone














SultryRose's Signatures




As a country, we've made mistakes we need to atone,
"Let he, who is without sin, cast the first stone."
So quick are we to find the fault in one another,
Do we realize that we are blaming our own brother?

Who has not told a lie, or borne false witness?
Coveted your neighbor; or has a 'hidden' mistress?
"Not I", say you; with 'righteous' consternation,
That mistress might just be your 'Moral' indignation!

For all of us have fallen short, on that you can depend,
Yet, none stands taller than when they stoop to help a friend.
Instead of laying blame, can we all work through this recession,
Casting all these stones aside, for we finally learned our lesson?

Matthew 7:1-2 (KJV)
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge,
ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you again.
