Sticks and Stones

They throw their rocks hard

Jarring, marring, scarring

The broken one’s heart

—-

Hiding their own sins

As if God doesn’t know them

“Holier than thou”.

—-

The rocks turn around

Dropping the stone throwers hard

As their sins hit home

—-

“ let he who is without sin cast the first stone”
