More fully Christ-like

wanting to lash out
to defend my family
ignorant words
slings and arrows
falling on them
judged by appearance
on anger, opinion
their facts and figures
their bile spewed
falling on us

needing to be forgiving
to choose to walk away
to be more fully Christ-like
in my words, my actions
to not lash out
joining in the argument
mine not the voice
to right this wrong
I am choosing to walk away
I leave it to God.
