New Beatitudes
(© 1998 WDNeely)

VERSE
Blessed are the high and mighty
And all the powers that be
Bless they pointy little heads
The Scribe and Pharisee

Blessed are the self-anointed
Spokesmen for the Lord
And blessed are the shareholders
And chairmen of the board

BRIDGE
And God help all the rest
Who finish second best
They pray their souls to keep
And cry themselves to sleep

VERSE
So blessed are the barracudas
The cutthroats and the sharks
And heaven help the bleeding hearts
And other easy marks

No good deed goes unpunished
No evil goes unsung
Every dog has his day
And some have more than one
