Analysis of Paid in full



The ten commandments
were written as a guide
to how we should live.
Not only love neighor
as self but be ready
to forgive.Quite often
as we deal with life
many rules we violate.
Ignorance of the laws
does not wash but to
God for forgiveness
is never too late.
Not loving neighbors
as we love our self
or someone in need
we just forget
we are breaking
one of God's rules
and putting ourselves
deeper into debt.
