by Stephanie Daich

Do you want to go to church,
Or hide in your basement?
Do you seek the good,
Or wallow in complacent?

Do you notice other’s sins,
And pretend your heart is pure?
Do you serve for others to see,
While your intent you do obscure.

Did I notice this list,
Was talking about me?
Do you see yourself in it?
We all can change—Don’t you agree?
