DOES NOT THE GAUDILY DECORATED WHEEL
KNOW ITS USEFULNESS
DEPENDS ON THE HUMBLE AXLE
DOES NOT THE ARROGANT PHARISEE
DRESSED IN HIS FINERY
TO GOD’S BLESSING ON HIM FOR A GOOD LIFE
OR DRESSED IN SHABBY CLOTHES
TO SHOW HOW HE SUFFERS FOR GOD
THAT HE IS TELLING GOD HOW GOOD HE IS
DOES NOT THE NOBLE PHARISEE
DESPISE THE LOWLY TAX COLLECTOR
PRAYING WITH HEAD DOWN
AND MUMBLING
BE MERCIFUL TO ME A SINNER
DOES NOT THE PROUD PHARISEE
LEAVE THE TEMPLE SELF SATISFIED
AND EMPTY
DOES NOT THE TAX COLLECTOR LEAVE
EMPTY OF SIN
AND AT PEACE
FRANK A VOLLMER
