caught lurking in the shadows
who is more dangerous than man?
More duplicitous than woman?
Who has caught its prey under the guise of guardian angel
Only to smirk at your squirm beneath its claws?
It is that slithering devotion to dominate
that compels the sheep to resent the shepherd;
Let no one be startled when finally the new beast
aches to amputate the hand that feeds it.
But what of the real viper’s venom
or the hunger leapt clean off the leopard?
That means one death,
But a conniving thing?
Who reaches into the core of one’s joy only to
commit an eternal murder
And then laugh at his calculating wit:
Well, tie a millstone around his neck and toss him into the open sea.
Matthew 23:33, Matthew 18:6
Postscript// it’s interesting, the only time Jesus, a typically mild-tempered guy, lost his cool was at the abhorrent abuse of power prevalent in his time. To think that any one of us today could escape the righteous judgment of such a heinous crime when that was the ONE thing that set him off is alarming.
While these are one imperfect person’s personal musings, there is something much greater online!
