Digesting Hypocrisy

His flock was really but a few When incarnated as a man like me and you But he had faith in his Father up above As he taught us to defeat our enemies with love He suggested we turn the other cheek And reap the reward from the strength of being meek There are many who say they’ve heard his word Yet clamor to arm themselves with weapons – how absurd Seems they relish amendments written by mortal men More than the commandments he died trying to defend So please, stop trying to convince me I have trouble digesting hypocrisy
