Trash

The money changers are back.

The temple is full of buying

And selling of chattel.

Profits change hands over

The souls of the "saved."

Money is made, but is glory there?

Should Jesus come in now,

Where would His scourge lay?

Where would His purifying begin?

Our worship is tarnished and tainted,

Focused on numbers and "success."

Success for the money changers.

Profits for the merchants.

The temple needs cleansing again.
