Those Whose Hearts Are Deceitful

those whose hearts are deceitful
                             they over praise and flatter sinfully
                                    they utter empty words
                                     making false promises
                        they make useless covenants with others
                              for them justice becomes injustice
                     growing like poisonous weeds in a plowed field
                                 But God in heaven remains just
                                       And so justice lives on
