Jeremiah Laments Again

There's not a lot of joy
and precious little thanks
in pointing out the greed of priests
and the falseness of false prophets
and how that sort of thing
can cause temples and cities to fall
and you might get thrown down a well

Which might be causing 
today's poets and prophets some pause
with Drill Baby Drill echoing across the land
