Do Not Believe What Men Might Say

 




Do not believe what men might say

Judge only by man’s action

The atheist who goes to pray

Is seeking satisfaction

He is not just a hypocrite engaged in an abstraction

He is compelled to disobey,

His reason’s a distraction.

Do not believe what men might say

They’ll contradict another day

Do not promote protraction

Believing words designed to sway,

Judge only by man’s action.

Ideas conveyed in words through argument gain traction

Don’t encourage them to stay

By pressing for retraction.

The atheist who goes to pray

May sense he’s led himself astray

And feel the need to view his slip as some sort of infraction.

Let him be, he is distré

Is seeking satisfaction,

Balm. The greatest benefaction

Is to look away, 

Show no triumph or pleasure in reaction

And if perhaps you’re tempted, the vicar’s part to play

Do not.
