I wonder if they understand
They learn the book word for word
Yet they don't act on the plan
If a man asks for a quarter
Without an expression
Is walking away and ignoring him
A part of their learned profession
How do they know he’s not pious
Or in a deep disguise
He could possibly be the one
They pray to late at night
Some people are careless
To eyes of hurt and pain
Others turn the other way
Pretending it’s a game
Just as they judge that man
I judge them with great frustration
I guess that makes me just the same
Giving in to deaf temptation
