The Un-beatitudes
In the shadows of pretense, where honesty is rare,
Deception wraps its tendrils, weaving webs of despair.
Strip away the facades, let the truth appear,
A mirror to our souls, reflecting crystal clear.
Wicked children dancing in a world so unkind,
Rotten to the core, yet searching for what we can't find.
Void of worth and goodness, always wanting more,
But in this twisted tale, there's a key to the door.
Depraved in our essence, contentious in our ways,
Malevolent in charity, lost in a hate-filled maze.
Boastful towards God, hard-hearted when we should see,
Yet in this chaos, grace whispers, setting us free.
Boastful towards the heavens, defiance in our gaze,
Coveting the forbidden, lost in a lustful daze.
Acquiescent to falsehoods, stubborn in our youth,
Yet in the arms of mercy, we find eternal truth.
Wicked children yearning, for a love that won't decay,
Rotten to the core, seeking a brighter day.
Void of worth and goodness, drowning in our plea,
But in the darkest night, grace whispers, "Come to me."
Depraved in our essence, contentious in our ways,
Malevolent in charity, lost in a hate-filled maze.
Boastful towards God, hard-hearted when we should see,
Yet in this chaos, grace whispers, setting us free.
The God of grace and mercy, extends a loving hand,
Providing us a pathway to a promised land.
Through the sacrifice of His Son, redemption's melody,
Blessings we don't deserve, a symphony of mercy.
Blessings freely given, through the work of divine,
In the tapestry of grace, every thread will intertwine.
Wicked children redeemed, finding worth and more,
In the arms of forgiveness, we'll rise and adore.
Depraved in our essence, contentious in our ways,
Malevolent in charity, lost in a hate-filled maze.
Boastful towards God, hard-hearted when we should see,
Yet in this chaos, grace whispers, setting us free.
So let the music echo, the redemption story told,
In the melody of mercy, in the grace that never folds.
Wicked children transformed, by love's unending sea,
In this symphony of grace, we find eternity.
