Last Rite of Passage

We do not need to justify

The ‘why’ of what we say or do

The finest ruse shaped to excuse

Is quite beside the point, tis true

…and it is worthless to explain

With well-laid pains the vain disguise

Of making sure that we procure

Good judgement in onlooker’s eyes

But we will pay more earnest heed

To need and greed that test our laud

If we prepare and are aware

That someday we answer to God

 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, 

lest at any time we should let them slip.

Heb.2:1
