Pharisee Committing Heresy

The adulterous housewife
point fingers 
at the prostitute down the street

How sluggish is the tortoise

yet slow in her own little shell

The toad has no stool to offer
who preaches so?
The squatting jumping frog!

Devil on the pulpit 
preaching repentance
with an unrepented heart 

The log is in your eyes

Killing more Christians
Blinded, thrown off his high horse
Sent to a Christian

The scales fell away.
Paul became a man of God...
Trusted apostle....
