People who claim to have faith <br />And hide behind fears... <br />Are so hypocritical, <br />With each excuse made I hear! <br />They will convince with sincerety, <br />How strong their convictions are. <br />But they wont step up to the plate... <br />Unless they are riding in an armored car! <br />And people like that with issues on their back... <br />Seem to be full of promises, <br />And conflicts prepared to share! <br />As they subtract facts... <br />From a mind they've created <br />To preceive life as abstract! <br />With that kind of faith kept... <br />Where they expect to get, <br />Has to be 'thisclose' to nowhere! <br />With judgements to pass, <br />As they prepare to adopt more frets to inspect!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
