Compromise 3

Job 15:34 

34 For the company of hypocrites will be barren,
And fire will consume the tents of bribery.

 

Compromise

 

You think you are the greatest … a legend of kinds

A man chosen for destiny to bring truth to light

Is not truth when incomplete … just a children’s rhyme,

That leaves pain and agony and just a fake of bright?

 

Well part of truth is better than none at all

Interwoven with a lie it surely brings destruction

It is well known somehow that the last is truth to all

Who love themselves more than God without liposuction

 

Compromise died in their sight and is now a way of living

Normal in their daily walk towards temporal “eternity”

Use every day as underwear closest to their heart’s misgivings

Covered up by fancy clothes in their own fraternity
