Crying Shame

Beware of the crook and his wise
guy’d spooks and their graven look-see.

Whoopsie, of the bed, that you lie in now,
like a crying shame,

bereft of a semblance of size.
     Of the thief in the night —

he does shuck all your pride.
     It’s a hell of a ride.

Make it simple my friend:
believe in the Word of the living God

and let embers fall.
     Rise up on your knees,

release all your sins
Believe! It’s a win!

Despite the humor, it still has an inspirational motive weaved in it. Hugs
