Violence usually leads to more violence. It's as old as mankind itself. This was quite a cautionary poem. Choosing to do something violent will keep you from seeing the light. Gretchen

It does seem like an uphill climb at times, doesn't it? But we trudge on... A wonderful offering asking some great questions for contemplation, sir -- thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

Praise Jesus for He "seeks to walk in grace and love
and longs to make men whole." Because of His redemptive work for us we can be free from our fallen nature and violent ways.

Wow, Roy. Your poem has the rhythm straight down to the point. I got a chill down my spine after reading your poem. Alot of people are falling from God's grace and living with their evil ways. Hope you're well and had a good Thanksgiving. Great poem.

God granted us free will and with that came our egos. Our egos seem to be one of the worst faults we have. It gets us into so much trouble. But with God's help we can control our egos. Thank you for sharing your God given wisdom with us.

When God gave man free will and worst of all, an ego, God set off a path for mans destruction. God also gave us a brain to know good from evil, I takes a wise man to know the difference, A very thought provoking poem.

Yes, anger and violence seem to consume some people, and that leads to destruction of relationships. (The FS gremlins have messed with your Scripture verses and they are pretty difficult to read.) Jesus is our hope for changing hearts and attitudes. Blessings. Carol
