False Truths

Let me bring it to your attention and surprise Of the foolish things purported to be wise Lofty language and personalities are their guise A hope seller's haven of clout and enterprise Claiming sureness of the fate of a rolling dice And their boldness of divine seers can really entice God says to give and you shall receive a far healthier stake While the world claims life to be a race to take, take, take Wasn't Christ exalted for giving His Life for our sake And for the enticement of knowledge Eve heeded the snake Even for the lust for God's Throne, the devil's fate is the sulphur lake And still knowing this, many leave ill teachings in their wake "Every man for himself" against 'where two or three are gathered" Killing the communion in which victory is authored The estate is scattered though the sons are by one father fathered And we look on the plight and are unbothered Until the day one rises to find it at his door tethered And your cry finds compassion long dried and weathered The thought that sophistication will edge out the simple Moral stays cheapened and bodies becoming desecrated temples Because notoriety covers their sin if it is ample To what end if history doesn't teach in its notable ensemble Men wishing to turn back the hands of time, so weak, spent and humble Seeing how wasteful they were with their wit most nimble K. Muitherero.
