attitude 2 ...


Job 19:29

29 You should fear punishment yourselves,
    for your attitude deserves punishment.
    Then you will know that there is indeed a judgment.”

 

Attitude

 

“There I go! Oh, what a sight! In my chosen flight

Standing at a corner in hope that a passerby gives me a pitons

Everyone looks down at me just wondering, just why?

I got into this shape and place with my pride just smitten

 

I did not want to be here, but now I start to like

Many feel sorry for me and I’ve got lots of attention

I need not to be responsible and just enjoy the ride

As many a passerby sniff at me in pride not to mention

 

My responsibility rest by others now from day to day

If they give me nothing it must be searing their conscience

I really don’t care much if they have their own bills to pay

They deserve it with their attitude testing my patience
