🎵 Are we Hypocrites? Are we vipers? Are we all the same? 🎵
In a world where our generation often finds itself as judge, jury, and executioner within the court of public opinion, it's essential we pause and reflect. We easily possess the power to cast stones and revel in the downfall of others, all while masking our own flaws and missteps. The quest for a supposed 'higher standard' can lead us down a perilous path of hypocrisy, blurring the lines between condemnation and self-examination. Habits of paying attention to what divides rather than what unifies often allows those divisions to become what defines us.
I am reminded of the Pharisees, renowned for their rigid adherence to tradition, law, and superior sanctity. Blinded by self-indulgence, self-righteousness, and greed, they tore down those who disagreed with them, sometimes in the most painful of ways. Stripped of mercy, compassion, and kindness, their legacy serves as a stark reminder of what we must avoid as a society.
Grappling with the tensions between judgment and introspection, I've encapsulated these thoughts into a 4-minute and 35-second rock song 🎸 that delves into the fabric of our society's contradictions, while also confronting these contradictions within myself.
I invite you to ponder these considerations when listening to this song!
lyrics
To the modern-day Pharisee...
Of which, I can be one
Another day, another night
Another life that's in the dark
Captured by his own greed
With empty words he stabs the knife
Another lie to bestow
Just as long as he feels rich
Don't we see it?
The darkness in us all
So are we Hypocrites?
Are we Vipers? Are we all the same?
Are we Hypocrites?
Are we Vipers? Are we all the same?
An act of judgment that comes from God
Stands above the wicked nature of a man
So are we Hypocrites?
Are we Vipers? Are we all the same?
For we must judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
A time for self, a time to hate
A time to condemn those who mistake
Just as long as we look good
A time to cut, a time to gain
A time to build our own throne
So blind to our own sin
Don't we see it?
The Judgement in us all
So are we Hypocrites?
Are we Vipers? Are we all the same?
Are we Hypocrites?
Are we Vipers? Are we all the same?
An act of judgment that comes from God
Stands above the wicked nature of a man
So are we Hypocrites?
Are we Vipers? Are we all the same?
For we must judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
So are we Hypocrites?
Are we Vipers? Are we all the same?
Are we Hypocrites?
Are we Vipers? Are we all the same?
An act of judgment that comes from God
Stands above the wicked nature of a man
So are we Hypocrites?
Are we Vipers? Are we all the same?
For we must judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
For we must judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
Judge not, lest we be judged
