Chapter 5: School Time

Hey Guys,
Here I am, in school! Bored as usual! Smith forgot the work we were suppose to be doing therefore, free class! Ha! Thanks Smith! ;)
Anyways, I was online last night and posted the election update, I'm so glad that the Conservatives are in the lead. It seems like all I talk about these days, in school, at home, online... I think people are starting to be annoyed by me! ha! Oh well! There's not a whole lot to talk about today... thus far at lease! It's snowing outside, which totally sucks considering the past 4 days it was over +10degrees.... and now all of a sudden it's cut off to snow! Not a fan of snow actually! ha! But oh well! That's life I guess! I was searching for cool poems and stuff online already, and I came across this one:

A Pocket Full Of Stones
Her long, dark veil of hair

couldn't shield her from their contemptious eyes

as the chant of the crowd arose

until every tongue echoed the awful decree:

"Stone her!"
Passing by, I queried a spectator. "She was caught

in the act of adultery," the stranger replied.
Tramp! I thought, and I felt a curious weight

sag my pocket. For several blocks

my mind tortured the woman,

and I returned to find the Pharisees

had shuffled her through the crowd to Jesus' feet.
"He that is without sin among you,

let him first cast a stone," I heard Jesus say.

Their stones were silent.
Then Jesus turned to me

I was chilled by his solemn stare.

Guilt settled upon me like a fog

as my hands nervously fumbled my pockets,

and I trembled to find that they were filled with stones.
"But I didn't gather these," I pleaded.
His voice was steady."

Will you cast with your tongue

the stones which your mind has collected?"
I turned to hide in the crowd, but one by one

they had gone, and I stood alone.

So I emptied my pockets and made the stones

an altar at his feet.

Smiling warmth, he said to us--

the adulterous woman and me--

"Hath no man condemned thee?

Neither do I condemn thee:

go, and sin no more.
