Actors – v2

Actors, donning the mask of another,
Wearing our giving on our sleeves,
Like those in scripture, in public,
Seeking attention, fame, fortune,
In the eyes of our neighbors,
Broken vessels of clay…
 
Actors, hypocrites, seeking attention,
Comparing ourselves to others,
All of us disingenuous, artificial,
Focused solely on ourselves,
Not humbly giving, in secret,
Broken vessels of clay…
