Obvious But Absent Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They carry Bibles and yet lie.
Quote scriptures,
Although hypocrites.
And are the main reasons,
For the divisions and splits...
Conflicts and indecisiveness.
With a healing that could be done,
That is obvious but absent!

They argue and are self righteous.
And determined with their wickedness,
To defeat anything that is good.
And their followers are found crawling to leech...
With a preaching done,
In depressed and neglected...
Inner city neighborhoods.
