You preach with your front and judge with your back
For others' reputations, you cut them no slack
You condemn such actions, reacting posthaste
And yet to these others, you give the same taste
Oh Hypocrite should be thy name indeed
In intention, in mind and also in deed
Such airs you put on, all holier-than-thou
And nary a slip for others' conduct you allow
How different are you, from those you denounce?
For like them, on such hurtful things do you pounce
Such accurate labels, such delicious dirt
And such snide judgements of people do you assert
'Tis ashamed I am, of people like you
Who talk of God, while doing what you do
Walk the talk, if you're going to preach
Else can the moral lessons; you ain't fit to teach.

Chapter Twenty-eight: Prayer.
Oh Lord, lead my feet
For i know not where to go
Where the ends will meet
Where rich green pastures grow
Oh Lord, fill my heart
For i am as yet weak
When i am torn apart
Your strength do i seek
Oh Lord, walk with me
For i am always afraid
Tremblings of a nature
That i for myself made
Lord, give me succour
When i cannot go on
In Your arms will i be secure
Fear and anxiety begone
Lord, hear me pray
As i now write this verse
My fears, will You allay
As with You i converse
Almighty Lord, be my light
As in the dark i grope
Through the dangers of the night
Towards Your immaculate ray of hope.
For i know not where to go

Tremblings of a nature
That i for myself made

When i cannot go on
