WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR

Never a bright moment
Storms one after the other
Climbing digging scraping
Trying to make ends meet

Living in fear
Wondering from place to place
Looked down upon as scum
Feeling like the dust on the ground
Crushed under the feet of men
But still waking to a horrible end

No desire to change his ways
But still hoping for better days
Fighting against the established truth
That a good tree brings forth good fruit

Each day he believes the lie
Closing his eyes
His pride keeps him blind
He has strayed away from the word of God
Rejecting the fact
That the way of a transgressor
Is hard.

Wilford Barker.

Ahhhhh, nicely penned, Sir Barker!
Pride is the scourge of all mankind, is it not?
From whom do we think our gifts of gab come from?
Does it simply manifest itself one day all on its own, prompting us to take up a pen and begin to write?
Or, is writing something inherent deep within us that we feel we must do in order to feel...normal?
I suppose it all depends on one's perception.
Good stuff, sir!
