Straightforward

Truth, justice and the American way…* Back up to Pilate “What is truth?” If you can question it than you can let go of it An honest answer forbidden, revoked, crucified Who is truth - the better question His words stationed before, during, and after the cross a divine human being has a way with words clarifications not needed where common sense prevails He made them male and female with corresponding body parts gave women the gift of carrying the most precious thing on earth Mary would tell the truth Politicians pervert the truth Pilate washed his hands of the truth Where does America stand? Praying hands or idle idolatry looking away from the cursèd tree distaining Ripley choosing to believe not what your eyes see as straightforward what they’ve always seen from the beginning Is this how we know it’s the end?

A very clever write indeed - morality questioned and rightly so. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Jesus is truth and His word. Many do not read and partake of God’s wisdom. Hugs ~ Kim

Pretty crazy times these days… enjoyed this, Kim. Pilate, in a long line of moral relativists…
