Analysis of Always Mercy
Her tired chafing robe
Cuts across her terse torment lies
As she lives too silent with self.
Family fracture...Relationships demolished
I have seen too many young today...
Saying...Is that all there is...
As things don't do it for them
Even if adult lawnmower noise toys.
Hardest fierce wind within...
:Living with now self.
Now who did this to them
I know temptation and sin.
But I want to go beyond that
Beyond even sefishness or pride...
They read the new culture books
But from what I see...they been hooked.
I guess if you felt little family love
And you put aside God above...
I understand your behavior
I understand your behavior.
Remember, God never gives up...
Gives up on the least of
His Children...
He alone has Mercy and Forgiveness.
Modern Life ( Your reality of immorality, not my reality) has it made or given you
long-term happiness. I met no one who doesn't agree with me.
