The First Stone



The first stone,
won't be the last.
An overwhelming blast,
of judgement that caves in.
But let he who is without sin,
cast number one.
Those who compare,
themselves to the worst.
Not realizing,
who they really are.
When God has the final call,
he sees through the hearts.
Of all,including myself,
knowing already who will,be left.
To stand in his kingdom,
of eternal life.
Repentance is key,
there's no need to think twice.
The end could be near,
so why linger...?
Wasting time on,
just pointing the finger.
