Ladies in fine dress, who caused the mess?

Yes I will say it, and say it again
Didn't I only see fine ladies at this hotel?
Ladies of beauty, dignity or both
Ladies in nice dresses or of speech that's grown
Ladies never associated with character unrefined
So what is this eyesore that takes me by surprise?
Who could have caused these messes in a place so clean
Who disgraced their nice dresses or were just plain mean
So I didn't see you do it, and surely no one else
But come on, Girl, would you in your own home create such mess??
Disregard for the cleaners who must protect employers' reputation
Disrespect for the Ladies who will come after you
Disgracing your sweet mother, I believe she taught you the right to do
Disjoint from your appearance and your private activation
Sigh, I sigh, this was sad but real
Unfortunately I am the one to face the ordeal
Funny enough it's not just Ladies in fine dresses
Graceful or regal in the public of fine places
What do we do when no one's around?
No one to point or make accusing sounds?
No one but God Who sees it all?
No one but God Who doesn't gossip to all?
No one to expose our hidden thoughts to the world?
No one to report our communal crimes to the world?
What do we do when no one is there?
Do we in our 'fine dresses' really truly care?


For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
(Luke 8:17 - NIVUK)
