The Path

You are the one who claims to know him so well
 Carry out his will when convenient is the way
 He was created in the image of yourself
 But you wouldn't recognize him if he walked alone
 In fact you'd be the first one to throw the stone
 Not realizing he was your own
 Proving your devotion for an hour every week
 While stepping on the backs of all the other sheep
 Following the path of responsibility
 While hiding from the kind that would truly set you free
 You're obviously scared of that kind of honesty
 You want advice - don't look to me
 Defending an idea that's beginning to grow thin
 From all of the directions everybody's looking in
 Easy comes the critic to the one who has so much
 All the phony history you're using as a crutch
 But there's one thing i'm forgetting and the saying goes as such
 "judge not others, lest you be judged"
