Duplicitous Endeavor

True colors always shine through
Tell me, is this the real you?
It seems you’d sell your soul for fame
and trade in lies to build a name,
insisting you’re misunderstood
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
You want to redefine the truth,
rewrite the facts to better suit
Truth’s not what you or I decide
Tell a lie a million times, it’s still a lie
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
«The vague and tenuous hope
that God is too kind to punish the ungodly
has become a deadly opiate
for the consciences of millions.
It hushes their fears and allows them
to practice all pleasant forms of iniquity
while death draws every day nearer
and the command to repent goes unheeded.»
(A. W. Tozer, «The Knowledge of the Holy»)
