You Can’t Fool God
You can fool the hapless public. You can be a subtle fraud.
You can hide your little meanness, but you can’t fool God.
You can advertise your virtues. You can self-achievement laud.
You can load yourself with riches, but you can’t fool God.
You can criticize the Bible. You can be a selfish clod.
You can lie, swear, drink, and gamble, but you can’t fool God.
You can magnify your talent. You can hear the world applaud.
You can boast yourself as somebody, but you can’t fool God.
