EVENSONG 7

It often seems as though people are out to get me and that they want to tear me apart.

Now, if I ever hurt an innocent person, I truly should pay the price and take what’s coming.

If folks are mad at me for good reason, I need to be punished and treated like a scoundrel.

I’m honest enough to say I’m not above the law and that I don’t merit special treatment.

That’s the true test of integrity — if a person abides by the same rules as everyone else.

Bad people have many weapons to use in trapping good people — deceit, in particular.

But liars dig their own graves and make those pits deeper and deeper with each lie they tell.

I’m happy when everyone — including me — gets exactly what we deserve on this earth.
