I am a pillar of righteousness. Free from iniquity. I am a perfect Christian. Too bad you're not like me. I go to church on Sunday morn Dressed in my best attire. If I pretend to love the Lord No one will guess that I'm a liar. Some say I judge, and gossip. They don't know me very well. They're just jealous 'cause, unlike me They'll spend eternity in Hell. If I hear that someone's sinning I go to Red Alert. I must inform my neighbors. I don't care who I might hurt. On 'Bewitched', my favorite TV show There was a lady I admired. Edna Kravitz was her name. By her, I was inspired. She performed her duties faithfully. I strive to do the same. She knew when, where, and why... And she even knew their names! I feel that's it's my duty To tell what others do. It doesn't matter what it is Or even if it's true. Guided by the Hand of God... Damnation spewing from my mouth... I'll tell the world who-did-what! I slither from house to house. Have you heard noises on your roof But thought it was the wind? Have you ever seen someone On the outside peeking in? One more thing, before I go... If you would be so kind... Don't pull your shades completely down: I cannot peek inside. Sinners beware: You're being watched. There's nowhere you can hide. No one is safe from my forked tongue Or from my vicious lies. "You can lock your doors against a thief... Use water to quench a fire... But, my friend, there's nothing you can do To protect yourself from a liar."
Reason for writing:
I am a Christian, but I'm not perfect. I do not spread lies about others, and I do not spread gossip. When we are Christians, we will not feel excited and happy when we hear distressing "news" about an acquaintance. If we are genuinely concerned, we should check for ourselves to see if the story is true. If it is, we should try to help,if we are asked to help. If we aren't going to help, we should keep our mouths shut. It's very easy for idle chatter to become SLANDEROUS. Lawsuit, anyone?
