Justification
Sometimes you do things that you know are wrong
To unsuspecting people who give you their trust
All in the hopes of getting ahead of the throng
Of humanity and it matters not the right or wrongness
Of what you do, because after all, you can always confess
But for right now you are going to do what you feel you must do
And if that something happens to affect another, you
Say, "Don't take it personally; it's business you see
A body has to do what a body has to do even if
That doing creates chaos and heartache
Because of my being on the take."
Rebuttal
Know that you do not believe that He is watching
You create the havoc that your greed has caused you to
Know that you feel like confessing will erase all of the
Dirt that you have been up to
But a wise man once said that "you will reap what you sow."
And you "have sown seeds in the wind" and they
Have scattered far and wide
And because of your egotistical greed
Many a soul has cried.
Which straw is going to be the one that breaks
The camel's back And ushers in retribution
For the deeds for which you refuse to make restitution?
[Sown the wind and reaped the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7) and He laughs. (Psalm 37:13)]
"When saw we You and took advantage of you? If you did it unto the least of them, you have done it unto Me." (Matthew 25:44-45)
So
We need to be mindful of our treatment of our fellowman. If you have committed a wrong, right it. It is as simple as that.
