Sadducee
How many will before you come that day
Mighty works in your name did we
our deeds were there for all to see
and before the assemblage we pray
How many were there lacking bread
you didst these things to be seen of men
but hypocrisy does lay within
you didst not give but prayed instead
You did only what you wanted to
though your deeds expand the globe
the truth in heart what God will probe
to Jesus voice you've not been true
To be seen by others as good your pride
you did not minister to his sheep
did not awaken those who are asleep
and your neighbor was naked and hungry died
Before the idols in worship you fall
like the heathen you are the same
to our Father you did give no fame
and pagan celebrations fill your hall
The widows and fatherless you forsook
with comfort you did not fill their need
your only desire for praise to succeed
and in your coffers their money took
For you have sought the praise of men
if it is the worlds recognition you seek
then not with God is your heart complete
and all deeds designed to be seen of them
You have not followed our Lords example
other humans you idolize
within heart the truth despise
by your actions the truth did trample
Seek you first the Kingdom of God
for within is the greatest treasure
and breath of Love in full measure
because the path to destruction is broad
