Law-Abiding CitizensLike the man in the old poem “He said he wouldn’t make a pledge unto the church at all, That he would give just when he felt the urgency—the call But still he bought a car and pledged to pay it off some day. And then a house in which to live and each month he would pay. He pledged to pay his telephone, electric and his gas; He pledged to pay his water bill-he never let it pass. He pledged to pay his taxes, too. Upon his house and sod. But not one cent he’d ever pledge to the house of God”
