Mirrorless Faith Poem by Vanessa Dizon Alvarez

They speak of God with holy grace,
Yet stab the backs they dare embrace.
Their words are pure, their hearts are cold—
A tale of virtue falsely told.

They preach of love, they claim the light,
But judge and lie out of spite.
They fault-find, sneer, and cast their blame,
While hiding shame behind His name.

No mirror held, no soul laid bare,
Just masks of faith and vacant prayer.
But actions speak, and truth will rise—
Beyond the cloak, beneath disguise.

So let them talk, let shadows play,
Their hollow words will fade away.
For those who walk with honest grace
Need not a mask to show their face.
