While Watching Others

other worlds are perfect
other houses are clean
mostly people are liars
we live like we mean

other floors are shining
other carpets are shampooed
mostly people are frontin'
we live like the best we can do

other sidings are pressure washed
other fences are mended
mostly people are selling wolf tickets
we live like the way our styles are blended

other doors are ajar
other welcome mats are muddy
mostly people are mannequins looking for acceptance in a wax museum
we live Divinely Healed By God....perfectly healing the wounds once bloody
