The vipers John
called out
seated in power
claiming their
path righteous
while they stand
on their neighbors
the poor, the
downtrodden, the infirm,
those who count
on us
The language he
used
denying their
piety
their repentance
hollow
empty words only
when compared to
their actions
hurting those in
need
So in this time
the vipers in
power
wielding the
mace
putting us in
chains
denying the aid,
the comfort
what they really
need
The voice of the
innocents
the poor, the
downtrodden, the infirm,
the balance of
society
the haves taking
their pound of flesh
from those who
have nothing
those just
struggling to live
What would Jesus
say
if he stood in
the committee room
would he
overturn the tables
as he did in the
temple
would he weep
for this generation
lost in
depravity
