The Grudge

Bubbling mouth everyday 
Like an old maid out of reason 
Bearing false words in every way 
Like a holy tongue out of season 

Going to church four times a week 
Trying to work for their salvation 
But everytime their tongues speak 
Nothing but vilification 

Better far not preach your faith 
If by your tongue you defame 
For you don't know the turns of fate 
All the days are not the same
