"No more bull" ...


1 Peter 3:9-10 New English Translation (NET Bible)

9 Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless others because you were called to inherit a blessing.

10 For the one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from uttering deceit.

 

 

“No more bull” a battle cry

 

How to go through life without always screaming and hollering?

Is not this statement of confusion that gives this trend of thought?

 

Only to surrender what’s left of your base foundation

that is built on nonsense so to bring the good to naught.

 

As a crusader, I go through life supplying for the needs of my desire.

There is a great lack of converts as just a few follow my imagination.

 

I fill their barrel to the brim with my emptiness’ leftovers from the fire

So that through the ashes I drenched long ago I increase my own frustration.
