Hypocrisy

by Roger Crique (Age: 56)

Age Rating: 13 +

"Don’t worry about money"
The philanthropist says
"Follow your dreams
Take risks and never look back!"

Oh, those wonderful words
when problems know no sleepless nights
"Money isn’t everything," says the poor
For he has an excuse for his impoverishment

“Money is the root of all evil,” say a few,
but much evil lurks in the “House of the Lord.”
Oh, what hypocrisy!
A man to serve his holiness is enshrined in gold?

Oh, how much wealth is in your sanctuary?
For you are a city onto yourself
Was his vestment golden,
when he preached the word?

Come down from your aerie!
Worship not he who is mortal
For surely gold will not save your soul
Nor prayer that goes unheard!

I think the choice belongs to the chooser. What is right for one may be left for another! As long as we can all just get along (LOL), I'm kool with it. If I don't get the new Porsche, its not God's fault. I still want to believe there is another world after this one that is better...or for some Hotter! Your write did what it was designed to do because I am asking questions and looking for answers! Thanks, Anthony
