Why do you manifest such Judas like ways?
Hasten to utter words of falsehood and deception,
Like Eve's serpentine friend.

Piercing through the flesh of once lowly sheep,
Each dermis layer destroyed.

Sacrilegious acts contradict your beliefs,
Whilst sycophantic words trip off your death lined tongue.

The curtains are drawn, and the congregation dissembles,
Your conscience pangs, as your heart bulks against mind,
Twisting and turning under smog filled skies.

And why do you create a devilish mirage?
Professing to be christlike,
Yet disregarding Gods command to show tender love to his flock.

Why do you pray til kingdom come,
Knowing God's a reader of hearts,
Therefore your application into his celestial paradise will be declined?

And why do you shun those who have spoken against you,
Painting them as the anti-christ,
Is it because their words have shaken your soul?
