Spiritual Sellers



Hiding to dry out their dirty laundry.
In cellars where they dwell.
Ceating to tell long hypocritical tales.
Known too well.
By the ones who choose,
To refuse to believe.
People like this,
Have lived to deceive.

Although they may be out of sight.
Practice and rehearse they do,
Lies told to tell until made true.
With a convincing enough to know,
Where to go and who to pick...
The spreading of their nonsense.
Blended with a mix of a faking of faith.
And just the right touch of pretentious B.S.
Known will be forgiven,
In the House of God.
Since to them it is believed,
God forgives...
Liars, sinners and deceivers.
Doing what they do intentionally.
Regardless if done,
To rehearse and practice first in a church!

'How blasphemous.
How irreverent.
And...
Despicably disrespectful.'

'Exactly.
That's what I thought.
But,
I was made aware what demons do...
When I saw a minister re-enact,
What the devil does.
Then to say,
We all sin and he still does too.
To demand we all bow our heads in prayer!'

'Well...'

'Then...
Open one of his eyes,
To see whose heads were bowed.'

'How blasphemous.
How irreverent.
And despicably deceiving.'

'Who me?'

'The both of you!'
