"Living Under Grace"
  by ButterflyDream
  - This Poem is a response to the poem In the Eyes of the Homeless (also on B-Y's Personal Page) by Group: KINGPIN WRITERS


Every morning as I wash my face,
do I remember to thank the Lord for allowing my life to be in this space?
For having the necessary comforts to satisfy my needs....
or am I more apt to what I dont have,the narcisistic tendancies of greed
You see society plants a seed that we create or own destiny,make our own luck
that you should measure a person's worth through the amount of bang in their buck
We look at each homeless person as if theyre one collective face
a degenerate disease upon the human race
Wouldnt Dr.King be so proud that weve finally found a way to unite
cause black and white alike look at homelessness with disgrace and spite
It's so Hypocritical to expect sympathy for your personal struggles,without an ounce of empathy for the next man's plight
Out of sight out of mind,helping the homeless is just a waste of time
theyre just junkies,prostitutes and the lazy trying to scam you out of your hard earned dime
Well dang,its only a dollar,not every person is gonna shoot,smoke or swallow
that mere act of kindness can be the light in someone's day and it wont leave a dent of loss in your tomorrow
My heart is full of sorrow because we are so narcisistic,not realizing that our lives are borrowed
In the blink of an eye any man can be in the next one's place
We are just humans within God's existence,livivng under grace

If it wasn't for His mercy or His grace where would I be? That's something to think about and not just a phrase to spew. Thanks for this write, BD.
