Charlatans in expensive suits
Preach forgiveness,
Yet go on offending.
You hypocrites!
Don't blaspheme truth.
Don't suggest you have
Anything to do with
Any god who's good.
Quit pretending!
Clowns in robes and vestments,
One day calling differences
Of race and faith
Grounds for murder,
Whilst the next day
Preaching peace!
To all you pretenders to the Light,
I say, ask no mercy for yourselves
Until that improbable hour
When, on your knees,
You publicly confess
That in your hearts
You've never bowed to
Any gods
But Wealth and Power,
That those two
You love best.
