Glorifying Vanity Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What is there left to disbelieve?
What is there left,
For one with a grieiving heart to receive?
Messages of hope...
From thunderous speeches,
Preached from tainted pulpits!
Keeping reality afraid to live...
As topics of sins keep them profitted.
The ones mopping up their treasures.
Sopping up tears that soak their silk suits!
Threatening others...
That God wants from them more to give!
And glorifying vanity,
When all of that has driven many...
To question their beliefs.
Fearing the truth,
And welcoming deceivers!
Who say they will assist...
To free them of 'their' demons.
So they can join the ones of their own!
To keep them remembering...
How they can come in homes,
With moan and groans.
And at 10% of your hard earned sweat...
They will tell them to leave you alone!
When God is there in all hearts from the start.
Waiting to hear you make that known!
