Unproven Forgiveness To Give It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Time...
Has never proven to be,
Forgiving or kind.
Done to do by anyone,
Victimized awakening to find...
The quality of their lives to live...
Destroyed.

By liars who fraud, deceive and steal.

Cloaked.
Dressed to impress.
In expensive designer clothes.
From head to toe.
Adorning smiles fixed.
Disguising false faces.

And...
Done to have many accept to believe,
Them to be...
Glowing upstanding righteous 'Christians'.
Representing souls saved from sinning.
While filling their pockets,
Nonstop with illegal to get it fast cash.

Then...
Out of their mouths,
Quick to drop biblical scriptures.
Quoted to learn them.
Yet not apply to their corrupted lives.
Neither known nor shown to have ever lived.
Yet will claim their climb,
To the top of success...
Not on being blessed with faith to keep.
But their ability,
To manipulate, trick and dupe.
