Gatekeepers of Hollow Truths #1214

Gatekeepers of Hollow Truths The Perils of Hypocrisy In ancient echoes, Jesus speaks, Condemning hypocrisy that chokes the meek. Guardians of heaven, rigid and cold, Building barriers where truth should unfold. Proselytizing hunters in robes of white, Expanding kingdoms with fervent might. They burden converts with shackles of creed, Impoverished doctrines that starve the seed. Beware hypocrites preaching love, Who wall out warmth from heavens above. On thrones of exclusion, they weave their lies, False faith shrouding their righteous disguise. Yet beneath their towers, the path lies clear, Grace unbound by rules or fear. True leaders walk with open hands, In love’s embrace where salvation stands. Heed the call, and turn away, From rigid gatekeepers who lead astray. For the key to the kingdom, pure and bright, Is held in each heart, unlocked by light. -Written by Steven G. Lee (May 7, 2024)
