Don’t make fun of people
What if they made fun of you?
If it was scorn and mockery
Then what would you do?
Would you just set there and take it
Or just set down and cry
Or in your ragging anger punch them in the eye
There is an army
That lives in this world
It is made up of grown men
And made up of grown girls
And there reason for warring
Is not all death and doom
But in they’re scorn and mockery
An innocent soul to wound
(Chorus)
Scorn is like a boomerang
That’s picking up the pace
When it’s gone full circle
It well smack you in the face
But the scornful army
Just keep scorning anyway
Hoping or pretending
It won’t come back on them one day
(Chorus)
Now folks from this army
See the wounds they have made
And will spend the rest of their live
Trying to mend them and repay
So then I will ask you
Which one are you today
Will you care for the wounded?
Or keep wounding anyway
(Chorus)
Its funny how one incident in one’s life can inspire a song like this. I wrote this song quite a while ago but I never knew how much I really needed this song and it’s meaning for myself.
Mockery is something that we all do in some forum or anther, but as innocent as it seems, mockery is BIG deal to God, and he dose not take it lightly.
Pro 19:29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
Yikes! That’s pretty serious; Mockery is not something we should play with. Now we may ask “What about Jokes that make light of are differences?” Well we should not band these kind of jokes, but be very careful. The biggest thing we need to remember when we joke is our motive. The “Rule of thumb” that I try to use when telling a joke about some one else, is; try not to use
the real name of the people, Doctrines, church’s, etc. you are making the joke about.
If you tell a joke with out using a pacific persons name, and you use words like “A man” or “a Baptist” You will avoid mockery and scorn. So that’s the rule I TRY to use. What do you think?
