Petrified

Psalm 106:43

43 Many times He delivered them,
but they had a rebellious attitude,
and degraded themselves by their sin.

 

Petrified

 

Petrified. Oh! What a state ... for a tree to be

somewhere frozen back in time ... for all of us to see.

 

What if I am petrified ... in heart, in thought, in fear

being exposed to the world ... to the ones right here?

 

If everyone can simply see ... every layer of my life

and nothing is hidden from the eyes of each passerby.

 

To be studied and analyzed ... for the good of civilization

it would show evolution wrong for an ape has no degradation.
