Businesses Can Be Bullies


    1
    I'm feeling bullied again
    . . Greed and pride allowed pain
    In faith I said I would trod
    . . To help better serve my God
    Perhaps I've even did that
    . . For I have learned that his stats
    . . . . Are not what I see

    3
    An auto withdrawl I blocked
    . . but heartless the thieves restocked
    Triple the cost I'd asked stopped
    . . Oh God help me anger to drop
    Make me able to forgive
    . . So I may eternally live
    . . . . Accepting Christ's key

    5
    Then on top of it all
    . . Local phone service tall
    Though I told them not to charge
    . . Stayed money hungry and large
    They just don't need to listen
    . . though rain knocked out the line
    . . . . hey checked it water free

    7
    Still 1st and formost, I see
    . . A 60 dollar each month fee
    A bad four year contract I signed
    . . An internet machine cost
    To use credit cards on line
    . . But a never once used vine
    . . . . During one year's levy.

    9
    Resentment is a poison
    . . Stopping an addict's reason
    Christ will teach us to forgive
    . . As we slowly learn to live
    Forgiving our enemy
    . . Is felt only after we
    . . . . Give to Christ completely.

2
Four months of sobriety
. . But forced again to see
Feelings of being swindled
. . Bullied, my resentment fed
Oh my Lord, my God, I pray
. . Help me release anger's fray
. . . . That clings as my fee

4
Two warnings written at my job
. . Add to resentments throb.
I was not thinking well
. . So in myself the blame swells
Why do things happen so fast
. . Why does rebellion last and last
. . . . As I feel guilty

6
Of course when dry it worked
. . But even though they shirked
I was charged the 80 dollar fee
. . How can they for cash not see
Can I be taught to forgive
. . Just let it go, my life live?
. . . . And accept Christ's mercy

8
They now threaten collection
. . Court is a possible run
Can the law be that unfair
. . To throw me in prison's lair
I hope for humanity
. . Could a judge or jury see
. . . . Them victimizing me

10
Only our older brother
. . Can teach us to love others
Christ will share His purity
. . With a vile sinner like me
If I covenants can keep,
. . If when bullied I creep
. . . . again to my knees.
