Liars and Embellishers

Liars and embellishers,
I want nothing
To do with you!

You spout deceit
Like a broken fountain
Spilling exaggeration
Like scalding spit.

I want no part of you!

How dare you call
Yourself a Christian
When even the Devil
Would be ashamed
By your actions!

You think you’re
So much better
Than us because
You can quote
The Scriptures.

So can Satan!

And when you make
Yourself into
Someone more
Important than God,
You become
His enemy.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by John 7:18- “A person making things up tries to make himself look good. But someone trying to honor the one who sent him sticks to the facts and doesn’t tamper with reality.”
