Judge not lest ye be judged? Remember when God said it?
When did he give you permission to edit his command
until all of your stereotypes and hate you can conveniently fit
outside the bounds of this rule. Why don't you understand?

I stand in the shadows, never dreaming to seek out
your help for the silent pain I carry on my soul,
and you term yourselves to be God's devout!
On Christ your hypocrisy takes a grave toll.

And those who last would trumpet themselves as pious Christians
are the very ones whose sufferings can help to mend mine.
But with you who turn disdainfully from them, where can I begin?
Does it even matter? I fall outside of your lines.

Because apparently you've had no problems, no struggles.
And though you've read God's word cover to cover,
you live in your own perfect, private bubble
and hate her, when you ought to love her.

When you live to edify yourself, ignoring social justice
and that Jesus told us we ought to love the poor
you've copped out to the devil and called an armistice.
And while you do that, Satan ushers thousands through Hell's door.

How dare you take the name of Christ to wear like a decoration
while claiming that your life is pristine, and assuming mine is too!
To me, your passive attitude, full of ignorance, is instigation!
Will Jesus Christ look at your love and works and really affirm you?

Don't tell anyone you're a Christian until you can take in
the homosexual, the whore, the needy, and the destitute
tell them you're not perfect: you are smudged and blemished by Sin.
Stop slamming doors in their faces and hating, preventing them from finding the Truth!

I've heard hateful things come out of your mouths, and I wonder
if you've ever heard that all people were created in God's image?
But you would lay bare their souls and their faults you would plunder
forgetting that once you ached in your bondage.

After all, God loved YOU, and if your soul were opened for us to see
your thoughts and deeds, all things kept hidden in shame
we'd see that you're a liar, and that you are filthy.
Good thing that God knows that you, me, and those you call "THEM" are all the same.
