Hypocrisy and Forgiveness
This life so unbalanced
It makes you laugh
Hysterical feelings
Beyond the pail, beyond the fail
Where people you know
Who committed their fair share of sins
But any you make they're never forgiving
And how poor downtrodden people
Who may have made mistakes with alcohol and crack
Are never given opportunities to come back
Yet those of wealth and those of power
Who fall down the same way
Are pardoned their mistakes and go on to be great
It would be really funny if it wasn't so unfair
An unbalanced life where only a few care
And where those who've made similar mistakes to you
Spin it and talk as if they've always been true
And forget what they've done
And focus on others
A form of distractions to keep their past deeds undercover
Me I am flawed and yes I've made mistakes
I own my own sins and repent everyday
Without getting pious or holier than thou
I never judge anyone of that I've avowed
Except hypocrites and those who seek to put others down
I find it hard to take their two faces
Without being irked and showing a frown
Everybody that owns what they've done
Has the right to be forgiven
Especially if the are doing right by repenting
And accept the responsibility for all of their deeds
And accepted their punishment where there is a need
But what hope is there for humanity
If there is one rule for them and another for me
What chance for anyone is forgiveness is only ever given
To those of class and position
And denied to those who are lowly
And defined as hopelessly riven within a different position
Hypocrisy is the greatest of all sins
Do not fall into it and judge who gets forgiven.
