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
