Thirty Pieces of Silver

By: Stephen Mathews - 2014

The things that I have And all of my wants The lust of another My arrogant thoughts To be better than others To work up the ladder Feeling a lite sense of joy When other’s dreams shatter To judge other people To slander their names To damn them to hell To envy their fame Abortions and lies Adultery in the heart Course joking with words That tear people apart

Deceptions and gossips To act like a fool Hatred and malice To not pay what is due To take what’s not mine Always asking for more Spending my time with me And not helping the poor Picking favorites of friends Treating others as dirt To forget about You No care for my neighbor’s hurt With all of these things I’ve betrayed you with haste Please forgive me oh Lord These things are all waste
