ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS



SUPPOSE I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY
THAT THE BIBLE IS THE UNERRING WORD OF GOD

FOR SOME OF YOU
CREATION TOOK SEVEN DAYS

THAT GOD SPOKE THE KING JAMES VERSION

THAT THE NAME OF THE BIBLE BOOKS
ARE THE NAMES OF THE AUTHORS

THAT ANY ANOMALIES ARE THE FAULT OF THE READER
NOT THE BOOK

WE
IN THIS MOST CHRISTIAN COUNTRY
DECLARE THIS BOOK TO BE SACRED
AND THE BASIS OF OUR BELIEF

WE WANT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
POSTED IN OUR PUBLIC PLACES

PRAYER IN SCHOOL
AS LONG AS IT’S THE CHRISTIAN GOD

BUT WHY SHOULD THE CHRISTIAN VIEW HAVE PRIORITY
IS IT BETTER

WHERE IS THE PROOF IN THE PUDDING

AVARICE IN THE MARKET PLACE
UNJUSTIFIED WAR
ONE LAW FOR THE RICH
ONE FOR THE POOR
HATRED FOR THE STRANGER
IN OUR MIDST
THE LIST GOES ON

ALL OF THEM CLEARLY CONDEMNED IN THE BOOK

WE ARE A NATION OF HYPOCRITES

WE ARE LIKE THE GOD JANUS
ONE FACE FOR THE PUBLIC
ONE FOR OUR REAL SELVES

NOT LOOKING BACK TO SEE WHERE WE ERRED
THEN LOOKING FORWARD TO NOT REPEAT THE ERRORS

WE SHOULD
TO PARAPHRASE THE VERNACULAR
PUT OUR BELIEFS INTO OUR ACTIONS

IF THE BIBLE IS GOD’S UNERRING WORD
WE SHOULD DO MORE THAN LISTEN
OR PARROT KEY PHRASES
WE SHOULD OBSERVE THE WORD
AND LIVE IT
