'Big Talkers' Poem by Linda Winchell

'Big Talkers'

Rating: 5.0


You talk about the Lord and stuff
and think your walking that walk you strut!
But not from my side of the fence do I see
that Godly part you think
your poems were somehow claiming you to be!

To show true kindness in your thoughts and deeds
you have to apply all of God's ten Commandment needs.
The character of one is who he or she is
when no one else is looking at what they've done or hid.

For God knows the true character of all mankind
and you my dear friend
are not making a friend of God's this time.

Go back and see just what you've written
in poems that claim your love for God was smitten.
They are nothing more than blank papered words you've penned
if not kindness to one in your words you send.

Linda, you are right. devotional and sanctimonious are two things, often we cannot make out the difference. This is a real wake up call to such.
