Do not be guided by what they do since they do not practice what they preach.
Everything they do is done to attract attention.
To practice what is preached is so often out of our reach.
It’s easier to mumble a few words full of condensation.

But would it be wise to hide our faith in a corner.
To never admit to any interest in religion or the life of the spirit.
We could sit tight like Little Jack Horner.
Anything better than be called hypocrite.

Let’s just do our social duty and go to church at Christmas and Easter, a done chore.
Let’s polite Agnosticism court.
People, they say, who talk about religion are such a bore.
And they’re asking for an almighty fall aren’t they when their actions fall short.

But are we not called to witness.
However inadequate our own fitness.
