Rights
1 Peter 2:1
2 So get rid of all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.
We have the right?
An evil regime … we’ll bring it down
How many will be left before we’re through?
Will we be one of them or will God frown?
Will He tolerate hypocrisy to spread like the flu?
It is easy to judge others and remove all mirrors
So we won’t have to face the distortions of our heart
To wake up one day to be presented with horror
When all comes to light in our time to depart
No man falls by self … not even an Iraqi
No man dies alone without sharing who he is
The iniquity from all and all it’s yucky
Will appear before the Throne in the accuser’s fist
Makes you wonder as only One is justified
Makes you marvel at unknown Holiness
Where love is the issue even for an enemy’s life
How far have we come in our chosen emptiness?
Do we have the right to analyze all wrong?
To judge someone else how it should be done
After all our own life seems filled with enough dung
That corrupts our environment all the day long
Jan Wienen
