It is me
Matthew 9:13
13 Go and learn what this saying means: ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
It’s me
Shortcomings I see in others – seem to be all my own
I should take time to think and expose it to my long-gone
All the flaws of others make me their existing clone
As through my own reason, I’m sinking to the bottom
“Disobedience in children” fits me like a glove
Proclaiming for attention my daily underwear
Preaching to the choir sprinkles with some love
It seems to be more for self in my empty stratosphere
Stages in my life, I discover every day
As I’m observing others on their trail
What in thought, I criticize in every way
Are my flaws in others appearing rather pale?
Giving advice should be directed mostly at self
Dropping off hints make my load a little heavy
Bogging down in a swamp that I’m creating very well
By my loosed lipped attitude makes sin appear so savvy
Jan Wienen
