just quit

Spare me the sermon

if sin is all you can see

in your  neighbor on the road.

Spare me the words of salvation

if you’re too busy

to relieve him of his load.

Don’t waste your breath

speaking of Christ the savior

if you think your politics is what will save us.

Don’t waste my time

speaking of faith

if you insist everyone ELSE’s sins are heinous.

Stop justifying the judging

Cancel the condescension

Have a little humility

and

by all means

let’s remove the sticks from our own eyes

before we even speak of our neighbor’s lies.
