Are we so very different <br />From the ones we accuse? <br />From the killer to the bad parent <br />Does their pain us ammuse? <br />Do we rape their conscience <br />So as to numb ours? <br />Superior must be the tears we cry <br />in the midnight hours. <br /> <br />Are their sins more black <br />Than the ones we committ? <br />Can't they be brought back <br />And their sins God omit? <br />Is Redemption sold <br />To the highest bidder? <br />What makes us so cold? <br />Why are we so bitter? <br /> <br />In their raging condemnation, <br />I say to the Pharisee: <br />It's the lost who find salvation, <br />And the blind who Redemption see!<br /><br />Beggar Boy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-shocking-truth/
