Thinking Through Tough Questions Poem by Solomon Senxer

When should one be found guilty:
when it sees no fruit?
when it sees no success?
when it gets no applause?
when it gets no response?
or when it gets boring?

When is the soul more distressing:
when you get angry and react?
when you presume the worst of others?
when all you hum is, "Does He care? "
when you claim the right to self-pity?
or when your action is inconsistent with your principle?

What is more loathsome:
when sin is preferred to stupidity?
when sin becomes appropriate?
when ‘to sin' becomes a right?
when ‘to sin' becomes a must?
or when one has a seared conscience?

What is more deceitful:
when you think you are busy to make it?
when you think it's difficult to make it?
when you see no relevance in it?
when you see no benefit in it?
or when you find it boring?
