Pharisees

Contributed by Archie on Tuesday, 11th October 2005 @ 09:23:25 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



They bound great burdens about men's necks
They turned their lives from bad to wrecks
Useless laws that have loopholes
Love as shallow as the shoals

Unless you become like a child
with mercy great and temper mild
You will never come to know
a love that makes the inner man whole

Some long to hear their own voice sing
they do not see how they're acts sting
biting driving making mad
the ones they should be making glad

They only want to know they're right
inspite of others shedding light
to show their acts are filled with fault
In hinderance they continue wrought

The outside clean and polished bright
the inside full of adder's bites
I wonder if they'll ever learn
before in fires cast to burn

I do not wish these come to harm
but only they might be alarmed
that such thinking is very 'skewed
brothers were not meant to be ruled

Who amongst us says he's great
he must hold the servant's plate
and wash the feet of all below
then his true greatness will show

Love must be the rule we follow
not rules by men which are hollow
All else will be understood
If we live life in love and good.

Indeed. Plenty of truth here for the reader to absorb. The third and the fifth stanza really hit home for me. Then those last two lines sound so positive and reassuring....which is saying alot, coming from me! This serves as a bit of a life lesson. Nicely done!

I can't say that this styel was a personal favorite of mine but i can say that despite that bias i have you delivered this well.

My favorite part would have to be when you said

"Who amongst us says he's great
he must hold the servant's plate".


good deliverance.

Humble.. definition..

1: not proud or haughty : not arrogant or assertive
2 : reflecting, expressing, or offered in a spirit of deference or submission

Lets just wash some feet and be kind.. Jesus put His feet out first.. to give us an example of kindness.. love.. now He washes ours.. and He did not lie, when He said, He has a place for us.. free..of board.. if we trust, have faith.. He will never go back on His word.. I love His way.. His gentle way.. of helping us to live.. do you know, without Him, the son of God.. no one here would be writing poetry... think about it..

Good poem, the truth behind it is solid. Some lines seemed to disrupt
the flow a little bit, but overall this was a well written poem.
I enjoyed reading it, and am glad that I stumbled across it.
