Choices, Discrimination, Good over evil., Justifying our actions, manipulation, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema., We can choose to reflect Christ.
The reasons we give ourselves,
for doing the things we do,
no longer amazes me.
People find incredible ways
to justify abuse and neglect
they take part in rendering.
Manipulation becomes a tool
we use to obtain a pre-set goal.
The goal becomes the focus and
we lose sight of how it might
impact the lives of others.
Desire over-rides our shame.
Over time, we blind ourselves
to the hurt and pain in others
when we choose to discriminate,
rather than accept differences.
We seek hatred and war,
not compassion and peace.
We avoid the essence of
other human beings and
we forget they have a soul.
They bleed from wounds
we cannot see and cry tears
that stay within the heart.
Yet we can choose to become
that which God made us to be:
Made in His own image,
a force for good,
full of love and acceptance,
and reflecting God’s peace.
-Yu/stan/kema-
Amen!
