Would you?

Matthew 7:1-2 

7 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.

 2 For by the standard you judge you will be judged,

and the measure you use will be the measure you receive.

 

 

Would you?

 

Sitting on a jury - called on to judge

listening to facts and fiction.

Who can you trust? Who is speaking truth?

Why so many contradictions?

 

What to believe? Dragging down the time

in search of so called justice.

Looking at the past, today is dead and gone

like mayo turned into mustard.

 

Weigh the facts. Hear the sentence

will it be death or life?

What would you vote if on the jury

and had to end someone’s life?
