Who Are We?
By Nathaniel Spears
Who are we to cast stones?
No one’s perfect
We’ve all been wrong
At some point
Am I right?
If you’re not willing to rebuild
Don’t condemn
If you didn’t help obtain
Don’t restrain
This is the vulture type mentality
Of the world
Casting stones
Like you’ve never been wrong!
Lord behold
Somebody cast a stone
At you
Then all hell would break loose!
A good assumption and a talented way to display it.
How true!
Well articulated.
