Peyton place crazy
Saturday morning sidewalk lazy
Rumors wrapped in crocheted gossip
Cross-stitched lies & quilted alibis
Church potluck disguise
Whispered words of judgement
Dressed up in pretty advice
Behind manicured nails
False eyelashes hide their eyes
With fake compassion, Snickers and frowns from the "holier than thous"
Who warm the pews, dressed in the finest as they look down at the lowest
Weakest in this small town..
As the preacher winks At his brother's wife, the same one he was with last night. While praying screaming about wrong & right.
Nobody sees, blinded by the logs in their own eyes.
Sheriff smokes his weed for his arthritic knee
yet arrests the addict on bended knee
Begging please 🙏
Hypocrisy and perfect attendance
But I doubt they know our names
The homeless, the addicts, the suicidal, the depressed, the orphans.
Well Jesus knows their names
And that my friends is the Greatest fame....
