Faith?

How many times will you announce your faith with words louder than works?
How many healthy seeds are cast to the rocks and the birds to die?

How can you stand up for deluded faith?
One minute you announce your works of love, but the next?
You flirt with sin in a treacherous way,
By living half-hearted in your life of "faith."

Are the reasons I see these things in you
because they plague me?
Are the reasons I do not tell you
because my vision is more impaired than yours?

Why am I so quick to see in others my faults?
Why am I filled so scornfully with hatred to those who share my sin?
Who can be quick to speak and rest assured that what they say is just?
Then I will be quick to write so I can learn from my thoughts.
