you have done evil – v2

you have done evil
to loved ones;
you have spoken lies
to pierce their hearts

you have mocked them
hurling scripture;
you have spoken lies
within the gate

I will remember
your choice to do evil;
I will not turn my back
to suffer again

I will remember
what you have done to them;
your choice to hurt
your own flesh and blood.

A truth too terrible

the body of lies
a truth too terrible
premeditated dishonesty
corrupting the kingdom
to be David
the man spoken of by Nathan
poisoning all

what lies do I tell them – v2

what lies do I tell them
by errors, omissions
in purposeful lies
what lies have become comfortable
deluding myself
what lies do I tell them
out of habit, practice
what truth have I forgotten
that is needed for wholeness
so they can heal

what lies do I tell myself
to paper over the past
the pain I yet carry
not dropping at last
what lies do I tell myself
in secret, in private
denying the truth
when the truth is painful
never coming to a place
where I can be healed

no from my lips

no from my lips
when that was not truthful
hiding facts, truths,
that were unspeakable
shattering the perfect
only shards remaining
forgetting the truth that

I find it hard to trust people

I find it hard to trust people
because you betrayed me
the whole shattered
pieces on the ground
some pieces missing
never to be put together
an ache remaining
a reminder of your betrayal
never to be healed.

Not preaching the Word of God

They are delusional, filled with hatred
tearing the heart out of scripture
claiming to take a Word of God
preaching it to the people
Yet they are not Christian
their message a bile to his lips
the stuff of the cup he drank
in the Garden of Gethsemane

Christ is not racist
no matter who claims him;
they are of Satan
children of the dark
Christ is love, alive
God’s love come down
come to walk among us
to live as a man, in human body

Christ gave his life, a sacrifice
that we might live, in union
taking on our shame, our stain
drinking of our sin, the cup
Christ is not racist; He is love
his love for all mankind
the Samaritans, the others
all peoples, all tribes

Offering all his grace
his love of the cross
seeking to redeem us
paying that awful cost
Drinking the cup of such bile
the anger, the hatred
suffering for the others
to bring us all to God

No, they are not Christian
not Christian in the least
seeking to hurt, to harm
to intimidate our neighbors
They are not Christian
no matter the name they claim,
those burning that cross are
children only of Satan
