Stoned
Put that stone down and turn your back!
Look a little further within.
Guilt is ubiquitous. It crosses our land.
There is no one you can crucify
To take away your sin.
Stop screaming abuse at your TV,
Condemning the proclivities of celebrity!
They are no different to you, or me.
We know temptation only too well.
Faults you see in others, correct in yourself.
Not everyone can in a temple dwell.
If you never sinned, you are on your own.
Turn back around, then, friend
And throw the first stone!
