Two Thessalonians from glass houses

What are your standards
when your champion
exudes none
of the traits
that you profess
to hold
most dear?
Tremble in fear,
honor the Almighty,
do good,
versus giving alms
to idols –
beholdened to falsehoods
and titles
thrice bridaled
attacking women
in coatrooms,
calling people names, mayne…
eminently untamed…
tricking off on islands
lifestyles, rich, famous
and shameless
perusing lawsuits
no need for legal scholars
to ascertain
orange louts
devoid of honor
conflating income statements
floating faux clout,
sidestepping
taxes
extrapolated over decades…
is it safe
to assume
that we stew
in our own doom?
Blissfully harboring
wealth in ignorance
as tear ducts
overflow… this emotion
is far from show –
the beneficence
of fraud
versus that
of God?
Ay yooo!
Two Thessalonians
called…
hypocrisy is
on the phone –
hit dogs holler
while guilty parties
are forbade
from throwing
stones
from
glass houses.
