Disgruntled Pharisees
The sanctum of our world
A Place of solace for the hopeless
We pray your indulgence to criticize
To correct and not connive to brutalize
The weapons of venom but with no blast
Let the smoke of your words incense the vestry
To alert the high priest to call the junior pastors
Who wine and dine with the inquisitors
The Sanhedrin has been corrupted
It is now owned by the priesthood
Who call the Pharisees to teach messages
But not of the law
The elders are quiet and will not talk
To incur the wrath of the priesthood
The Pharisees are paid to talk
For the pleasure of the listening public.
Oh! You Pharisees, paradoxically leading
The blind to cross the bridge but to nowhere
Your cloak shall trip you to fall
Now you are fuming and grumbling
Your marriage has been ruined by your slip
And the priesthood is annoyed
The public now know your ins and outs
Your noisy waves we shall our ears incline no more
