Hypocrisy
We all have our lives to live among each other in this paradise,
and we all have our intolerable death sentences;
our loyal priests, preachers, and curs
lecture about the afterlife, all condone sin,
yet, never forgive or forget a late contribution,
they'll expound their righteous writ
of sanctimony, calling you a sinner three-fold,
while dispensing guilt, purging every misdeed,
dismantling your pride, indictment of conscience,
impeaching immorality, cathartic atonement,
all with one pretense of an empty promise: giving
your mortal skeleton an eternal afterlife, rewarding
your conscience with redemption, yet
thy sinner's recompense-an eternal fire,
therein lies the hypocrisy, scathing hypocrisy,
either in Hell or Heaven,
we'll all have
an eternal afterlife, regardless,
chutzpah.
