Actions speak louder than words and from what I see,

They shout nothing but hypocrisy.

Day after day and time after time,

I see people talk the talk,

But can’t walk for a dime.

I wonder if they think,

That somehow their soul is saved,

By saying and not doing,

And committing acts so depraved.

What is wrong with these people?

(Or should I call them so?)

That feel ever so fine,

Looking down on you,

As they continually cross the line.

On one hand they believe,

On the other they deceive.

So smug in their self affirmation,

But all the while rolling toward damnation.

No good deed,

Not a coin to spare.

Living empty lives so important,

But they still have time to glare.

Looking at you with soulless eyes,

So confident, but they do not realize.

That while they sit in a pew for only one day,

Their sin builds up, much to their dismay.

Living a life that condemns,

And never offering aid,

They think they’re just fine,

That somehow they’ve got it made.

But when the final bell tolls,

And they pass on from this life.

What will await them?

As they cause such torment and strife.

What do they expect?

A free pass to paradise?

To be totally forgiven,

And not pay the price?

The price of their misdeeds,

Their conquest and greed.

The pain they cause to their peers,

Creating conflict, instilling fears.

I prefer to think not,

I have a hope that I hold dear,

Is that they’ll see themselves as we do,

Disgusting and wretched without their veneer.
