You are always on their lips

You are always on their lips
but far from their hearts.
Jer. 12:2b

I IT WOULD BE NICE
IF FAULTFINDERS
LIKE MYSELF
WERE FAULTLESS
BUT I MISS THE MARK OFTEN

BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS
THAT LOOM LARGER THAN MY FAILINGS

AMONG WHICH
ANY CHILD WHO IS STARVING
JOBS
AT DECENT WAGES
AND CONDITIONS

POLITICIANS WHO PRATE MORALITY
LIKE A PARROT
WITH AS MUCH SENSE

TAXES ON THE POOR
WHILE THE RICH PAY LITTLE

A MAN JUDGED BY RACE OR RELIGION

CHRIST DIED FOR ALL OF THESE
CAN WE NOT HONOR HIS DEATH
BY DEALING WITH THEM
JUSTLY
