The question.

Good versus evil
is it all black and white?
What about the many shades of grey?

The bible man tells us evil will damn us to hell!
He says it in the same breath as he points to the unwed mother and shouts “ADULTRESS!”
With venom and hate in every vowel!

They said the pagan woman was bad….but she fed the homeless….the neglected and sad!
She did not judge the prostitute, beggar or hungry thief….she invited them to her table for a humble feast!

It’s a slippery slope we climb….looking for the answer to the “good versus evil” question….

Choose carefully…..on judgment day…..when it’s time to answer to God…..can you hold up your head proudly….or hang it in shame?

    I like the poem because it is something I face every day. After much thought, I can only make sure the compromises in the grey areas are worth it in the end. Cannot remember who sings it…You have to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything. Keep writing and making me think, I like it!
