Another Day In Court

Another Day In Court copyright 2010 (2/17/10)
Regina Vincent Clark, Ed.D.

You won’t be arrested for trying to steal my joy,
You won’t be handcuffed or shackled and put in a squad car.
You’ll not be charged with assault and battery for beating me down,
No one will throw you in the slammer for turning my smile into a frown.
You won’t serve any time for treating me like dirt,
You won’t be served any warrants for making others hurt.
You won’t have to hide from the law for causing any pain,
There’ll be no posse or bounty hunter chasing you down the lane.
No jury will be sequestered, no lawyers will plead your case,
It’s okay and yes, you do have guilt written all over your face…
You see you will go to court and there will be a trial,
You’ll be held accountable for all those actions that you know are foul.
The ultimate judge is God, His court is supreme, the highest in the land,
So I don’t have to wish you harm – when He calls you to the stand.
When He looks you in the eye and waits for your plea,
I already know you’ll want forgiveness, grace and mercy.
Only God will know if it’s really too late…Maybe you should think about your life now….
and not leave things to fate.
You won’t be arrested for any of the things noted above….
But you will go to Hell if you don’t learn to love.
