Examine self
Galatians 6:4 New English Translation (NET Bible)
4 Let each one examine his own work. Then he can take pride in himself and not compare himself with someone else.
Will the world we leave behind
be any better as we found it?
Has love increased or declined?
Has our behavior just denounced it?
Has our life made a difference
for the ones who are in need?
Or has the compounded indifference
only expanded our wants and greed?
Has the gift of sensibility
Passed us by on the way called success?
Has hardness replaced sensitivity
in our love for second best?
“Give me life and liberty”
A great excuse to do what I want
Never outgrowing mental “puberty”
with my peers throughout the land
Many stars in their own eyes
clapping hands in self-adoration
The end is now clearly in sight
breaking the standard of probation
Jan Wienen
