Back In the Day

“Ecclesiastes 7:15 - New American Standard Bible” I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness; and, there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness”. BACK IN THE DAY I so remember back in the day where religion was ever so staunch Over condemning religious advisers; from the pulpits would launch Into a tirade of unholy vehement speech, that left us all so fearing Who in their own narcissism spat out, with their rigorous sneering Who’s over dictation; left church parishioners, as coming from hell With their own over righteousness brought a deserved death knell Who went out into life being so-called righteous, picking on others Whether that be your own father, mother or, sisters and brothers Who are so seemly blind; to their own remarks, at others expense As to create a battle of words as one answers in their own defence Has life taught you nothing that you can’t even see your own crime Whose teaching has left you ignorant; and just so wrongly sublime May I make a suggestion that you stick your bible up your own a..e As I'm finding your biblical moral learning code; a total & utter farce “To some righteous bigot who got up my nose” . . .
