NO HIDIN’ PLACE
Go on and think that by you’re above
Your fellow man my friend,
And Judge him just, as you see fit,
For you both abound with sin.
Tell him that he’s just a snake,
And lowest to the Ground,
While you ride high on worldly pride,
Smile while he will frown.
You think that you’re a meanings end,
Or justice to a cause,
Yet you’re blind as blind could ever
be,
You violate God's laws.
You philosophy, and rectify,
And Classify your friends,
You shake their hands and steal their
lands,
And do make amends.
You’re apathetic, you’re sympathetic,
A«nd cold to brothers love,
And the Revelation of which John spcke
Will seek you from above.
