Punishment fits


Proverbs 22:8 

8 The one who sows iniquity will reap trouble,
and the rod of his fury will end.

 

“Punishment fits the sin”, should be the normal reason

unless sin loses recognition and becomes a standard molded.

By the desires and wishes ... of the folks in power

who somewhere in the past ... and future may be scolded.

 

How can a healthy being turn into a rotten apple?

How can they affect ... the basket that they are in?

The effect of their disease ... creeps into every window

in the nation that they’re ruling ... to justify their sin.

 

Election and destiny ... only realized when past.

Old money smells the same ... as the new going around.

Self-appointed royalty ... in the darkness of their greed

with destiny assured ... as they are downward bound.
