Compromise ... satire


Galatians 5:7-8 

Love Fulfills the Law

You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 

This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.

 

In my point of view all walls are white around me

Self-chosen exile in the land of hypocrisy

Printed by myself with the help of the ones like me

Who in the environment of guile built a form of autocracy

 

Build to my own liking labeled:”Servant of all”

All my wants and wishes placed slyly in disguise

Self-satisfaction ruling naming it:”Being called”

Leaving all the dirty dishes to be cleaned by compromise

 

Every accusation I call:”Misunderstood”

Apologizing constantly leaving victims in my path

Glorious degradation! I offer all as food

Taking truth demeaningly as I prey and fast
