Holy Saint

He is a person that everyone likes.
Acted so prissy when he’s facing you.
You thought he’s a holy like Jesus Christ
Living like a saint is undeniably untrue.

I know he fakes it but others won’t believe.
An angel in disguise who unknowingly destroys things
Take off the white mask on his face.
See a devil on they called holy saint.

Power is felt on his hands.
Graces of heaven are given to everyone.
Behind is a color of greediness.
How could a sacred define the word selfishness?

They say he’s a prophet from our heaven
See his eyes burning like a hell.
He can’t be your one holy saint!
Hiding deep secrets and that’s making me scared!
