He did it ...


Matthew 7:5 New English Translation (NET Bible)

5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye,

and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

 

He did it

 

Draw a line in the sand with a finger pointed at others

Searching for evidence for what self did wrong

Calling this:”United we stand” as we never really bother

to help the poor and needy, but only the strong

 

Like a vase on a table’s center filled with artificial flowers

Trying to appear real in a world of make-belief

Without any sense of endowment we waste water in showers

To clean whatever we can’t without purpose or appeal
