The Cleverest Sin
The Cleverest Sin
.........................................................of them all is
Vanity
That mankind’s propensity
To take pleasure in
All the aspects of our creativity
Achievement and praise therein
For its own ingenuity
Can be and more often
is
Classed
As
Vanity
Clever church
Artful religion
In its conquest of out spiritual destiny
To accuse us at every turn
Of the Sin of Vanity
To accuse us
Of the Sin of Vanity
In all its pomp gold glittering ceremony
In all its wealth and horded money
In all its verbiage preached
To claim knowledge of
The works and mind of GOD
It, the church, has the sheer AUDACITY
To accuse US
Of VANITY
Dictatorial policies
A foot in the mouth
Of mankind’s GOD GIFTED divinity
………………………………………and we’ll forget about gluttony, greed and avarice; sloth, anger and pride.
We’ll forget about those for awhile.
