Modern Pharisees

Wearing robes of piety Religious men pretend Purity of heart maybe But Greed is their main end. Labels tied to their name Cones of dogma on their head, Phylacteries and fame- But Truth is nowhere said. Religion plays games with men Done in the days of old So that in Christ Truth was given That what God wants may be told. And now Religion makes men fools, Succeeds in blinding them away! Money's their god and that's their rules One monsignor was caught today. Hypocrisy that still traps many Who thirst for God Whom they might meet Religion can divert so shrewdly Unless the Word guides our feet. Copyright~~~~Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~07.02.13
