the cookie jar

there are so many children

walking around
in adult bodies.

hands in the cookie jar
of life.

getting caught time and time again.

they don't regret their behavior
they just
regret being seen,

being busted, found out.

no sin is too large or too small
to cover up.

beware of those in church
covered

with cookie crumbs, their
hand

just left the jar.
