Hypocritical ... me?

Proverbs 16:1 

16 The intentions of the heart belong to a man,
but the answer of the tongue comes from the Lord.

Hypocritical

Unconsciously feeling became part of my life seemingly an overkill

Enslaving my will as such ... preventing my spirit to adapt God’s will

The first became my principled life ... not recognizing the many dangers

Now my “will” build on sinking sand... and acts more like a stranger

Intuition in the spirit is ... the sensitive part of me

It is that part the Lord Jesus brought for me to see

I was dead and He found me ... He opened my eyes

As He lifted me out of deadness ... and put me into Life

But now my flesh shouts ... through feelings and emotions

“Pay attention to me ... you owe me all your devotion!”

When I pay no attention ... it will grab my throat

As it crams me into depression ... until my fuses overload

This makes me quick to anger speeding through frustration

Knocking on every door ... trying to escape this sensation

Running into folks ... not noticing them at all

as I label them quickly as: “None are good or care”

Prodigal I am ... just feeding a bunch of swine

They don’t see me at all ... but are communicating well

They are never frustrated only irritated once in a while

As I take their food ... and adopt their very smell

Intuition is only active ... when emotions are quiet

Through the ruckus of emotion ... my spirit gets compromised

“Ears that not hear”... “Eyes that not see,” even the time of day

Thinking all things are made for me and these should go my way

Distinction of voice has my spirit ... “What does it sound like?” you ask

Well let me think about that brother ... I can’t remember when I heard it last

What? “You go to church every Sunday ... with a bible in your hand

And I should know reading it daily ... and I still don’t understand?”

“You look so clean and well behaved ... everyone thinks you really have got it

And now you tell me, it is just an act ... and you don’t know anything about it?

Is your life just a routine ... of good habits you’ve developed?

Are you just like a machine ... that runs on juice that is borrowed?”

“Now I asked you where that juice comes from and you have the patent?

You just burn without a thought for self ... and for own indulgence

You want me just to be like you ... and follow your example

You said that you’re bought with a price and I can’t even have a sample”

“Keep on trucking, little man,” ... is that all you can say?

You look at every one that’s lost and don’t give them time a day

Coming back to the voice you’ve heard, “where did you say it came from?”

Oh! You already forgot about that? You’re right. It is not that important
