Pharisee Heresy

By Jeremiah Bryan

Fast, yes,
But not too quick.
As giving your offerings
Should hurt, like a prick.

Be not as the Pharisees,
Who are self-righteous by deeds,
But rather work humbly,
As not to be consumed by greed.

“But I hath gathered all my wealth
By myself, just ask the court!”
Then, Love thy neighbor as thyself,
Of that I do retort.
