How important is it to make it in this world? Would you step on someone else to make it? With these questions in mind I birthed this piece.

INNOCENT BLOOD


by April Sims


 


Do you really want innocent blood on your hands


Blood that cannot be washed away


Are you truly willing to sacrifice them for a


Name


  Fortune


    Or


     Fame



You can wash your hands all day


Scrubbing over and over


Again and again


But you can never wash the blood away


Are you willing to sell your soul for


Record sales


  Limousine rides


   And


    Fan mail



Remember when your time comes


The Father will open your book


And reveal all that you have done


All the lambs you were selfishly willing to sacrifice


One by one



Your pages will show that you worshipped money


Money is to be respected


And not worshipped


By worshipping money you break the first commandment


Thou Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me



When your book along with your paper trail is read


The pages will reveal the blood on your hands


The blood of His lambs


For this you will be forever damned


So rethink your evil ways


Or a sea of fire will be your fate


For the rest of your days

You have written a beautiful piece. Greed will get you no where, look to God for salvation not the dollar. Like your style of writtin in this one.....

Be safe,

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
