An Honest Beating

Thieves keep taking

  Cheaters keep cheating,

It the honest one

  Who takes the beating.

But, ah here's the rub

  It's the proud mans snub,

To think he is better

  When he's really a grub.

Yes, I am guilty of pride

  I am the one who has lied,

A betrayers betrayal

  On the front and the side.

So how do I stop

  And come out on top,

When the seeds of my trespass

  Sow a bumper crop.

What I could be giving,

  Christ life in me living.

Peace dreams possibility...
