Poem
They were one greedy couple, they loved dipping their hands in the money pot They loved putting in only a little, and they really liked taking out a lot They liked the social status of hanging out with the holy crew Kicking it, rubbing elbows with the righteous, emboldened them as their hypocrisy grew On a certain day, the holy congregation came together and put everything they had into the pot But the greedy couple got slick, and secretly agreed to leave a large portion out The thing they didn't realize is that God knows the heart You can trick man easily, but God sees through the dark When the church leaders called the man, and asked what price did he sell the land The greedy man said such and such, and though it ain't much, I give it all to God The leaders said since you lied to the Holy Ghost, the feet you hear are coming to bury your soul And the greedy man died because he lied to God Next, the church leaders called the woman, and asked what price did she sell the land The greedy woman said such and such, and though it ain't much, I give it all to God The church elders declared that's what her husband said before he gave up the ghost, and got put in an earthen bed And to the Holy Ghost you too have lied When she heard this, she also fell down and died, and got buried next to her husband alongside Evil infectious greed can't be allowed to grow in the field of the righteous God said: Separate the wheat from the weeds; it's evident, the wicked can't live amongst the just The plain truth is, they never really were one of us
