Judging


Proverbs 1:32 

32 For the waywardness of the
simpletons will kill them,
and the careless ease of fools will destroy them.

 

Judging

 

At times just stepping back and

looking at the world.

Then judging simple matters

in all things I perceive.

They are just opinions about

interpretations of my world

filtered through what I pretend

my values and my beliefs to be.

 

Killing through abortion

before a life is seen.

Destroying parts of self

in the dawn of my existence

and when not to interfere with

things that should have been.

So in the twilight of the day

I’m assigned to my impotence.

 

So when you kill before “life” starts

and you remove your so-called hindrance.

Is that then not … more merciful

than to wait until life wills it?

For in the first the pain that comes

is to self and … then forever?

But when you abort in later years

you kill … body, soul and spirit.
