Profanity is thinking

That the world is mine

Or that I belong to the flesh;

It is turning my soul to a lesser good,

It is putting my God to the test;

It is forgetting that tomorrow or soon

I am dust

And remembering too much

What was past too much lust;

It is wanting to have

What I want as I must

And rejecting the holy within.
