They Hide Behind Love.. Poem by Sharon Smith

Lord..There I see but one of the sins that the world has grasped..
one that causes so much pain..yet embraced by this world..
and hides behind the earthly version of 'love'...
fornication............

One such act can destroy so much..
one such act can cause so much pain.
for one moment of lust can be a lifetime of sadness..
a death...a lost soul...a broken heart...yet it's excuse is love.
One such moment can create a life that is then unwanted...
One such moment can create a life that is then destroyed...
One such moment can then bring a lifetime of guilt and suffering
One such moment can take away a lifetime.
One such moment can break up a union
One such moment can break a heart.
One such moment can destroy a trust
One such moment can cause jealousy and bitterness
One such moment can hurt the very soul
One such moment can destroy a life
One such moment can cause disease
One such moment can orphan
One such moment can widow
One such moment can be captivity
One such moment can bring hell a smile

One such moment can cause the Spirit to flee...
and Lord...they call this 'love'.
