How Mean!

What happened to our honesty in these last and evil days?
Why do we lie so fast?  This causes my heart to weep.
We go to seminary to learn scriptures to quote so bright .
Yet deep down within our hearts  we just can’t do what’s right.

What about integrity as we stand to speak.
We dress ourselves from head to toe
The outside nice and clean.
Yet the actions that took place tonight 
                                      was oh so very mean.

I  served the tables from the start
Reach out to all and did my part.
Then when all was said and done
You took the tips 
                      but the work you shunned.

Mary, just be thankful that you know better. Pray for that person for she might not have had the same upbringing as you. Thank God for those that guided your younger steps.May God bless you my friend, Ron
