Misery Likes Company

why do we marvel
when mortal men sin,
priest, bishop, clergymen.

we appear elated,
relieved or proud,
seeing others join the crowd.

imperfection,
the common thread,
falling short we make our bed.

misery likes company,
the sentiment when,
reveling in mutual sin.

time ultimately shows
sin's personal price,
consequences suffered, not so nice.

all stand alone,
to give an account,
there's a wage for sin, no doubt.

death is sure
and we go empty-handed,
left or right, what's commanded?

left for those
who knowingly rejected
Christ's free gift given to the elected:

right for those
who accepted willingly,
avoiding hell? misery likes company.
