Notes About The Poem

Silence is complicity

toxic hypocrites hate truth

therefore disagree

hate criticism

wolves, in sheep's robes

 

Fake Christians

Fake Christians

Jesus required no qualification
no paperwork for the soul
empathy and compassion
was all one needed
his love never hid his anger
towards the temples of the devils
he spoke up
for the oppressed
the hungry
the meek
not the coin dealers
or those
who slaughter humanity

I find a valid resonance in these powerful Lines...Its a pity sheeran hasn't got the ed for real heights..' i could not help that Quip.' Maybe it was Jesus? It seems just Too smooth.' You raise points of valid-ness if you can forgive my grammatic mess..Do.? You? Think? That maybe? Some Jews may also be false.? In a strictly spiritual sense..Should they not be the soul of hospitality.? I do see very brave ones standing up..I guess thats the benchmark that we must scrutinize For they too seem opressed.' Surely there is Truth in the saying ( you hypocrites !) Who strain out a gnat yet swallow a camel..Maybe thats why MBS Is always grinning.?

Whats hilarious, if Jesus ever told a joke, ignorant ones would care about image more than substance, that's what hate and toxicity does to monsters. RL

Arthur, this piece strongly conveys a critique of hypocrisy in religious practice. It champions genuine compassion and empathy, echoing core ethical teachings. The direct language emphasizes the importance of authenticity in faith.

Thank you, is sad to see such hypocrites lacking humanity, and with or without any faith, I stand with the oppressed always. Hope you are doing well.
