Realty and some ...


Jeremiah 5:23 New English Translation (NET Bible)

23 But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.
They have turned aside and gone their own way.

 

Reality and some 

 

Skip a page while writing and sometimes when I read

Almost like a memory where many days are lost

Reality seems griping as the selfish feeds

On an oft repeated story that deeply costs

 

The past left long ago and will be back tomorrow

Repeat of things gone wrong will be noticed again

How long can we go and not taste some sorrow?

As we can’t get along with the ones who jump our train

 

Molded out of clay that is someone else’s substance

Fussing at the many cracks that so easily appear

Revived without pay we’ll judge things in an instant

Catching all the flack that we have gathered here
