"United" we fall


Mark 3:25 New English Translation (NET Bible)

25 If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

 

 

 United

 

United we stand, divided we fall ... but what if we are moving?

Is that when eyes turn to the road ... in the directions of our will

and the harness of desires ... is there constantly proving

that the place where we wind up ... is called the “overkill”?

 

The ones we seem to follow ... are guided by the reigns

that is attached to a bit ... carved into their mouths.

When going through a curve ... we’ll search for some gain

as the load will slip and slide ... with the movement of our doubts.

 

A common explanation ... in our great misunderstanding

is to blame the driver ... although he is not in sight.

As long as we blame others ... we can exist underhanded

pleased with our performance ... as the children of the night.
