#70: The Tragedy of Perfect Love Denied


There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1st John 4:18


The tragedy of perfect love denied
It is a broken people with pointless pride
Where lies spit from their mouths
And the truth of love is despised

The selfishness of humanity destroys our compassion
Of a greedy people who buy into deception
Where lust and pleasure burn hearts into dust
And we lead ourselves to a path of destruction

The spirit of the affluent always wants more
Of goods that could give help to the poor
Where women and children starve on the streets
Yet the wealthy own more than ever before

The absence of grace is the death of hope
Of the law that slides down a slippery slope
Where justice on its own cannot stand
And humanity finds fear at the end of its rope

Faded Love Wilted Rose On White  by M K Miller
