Pastor,
You mesmerize us with talks of greener pastures,
Gold paved streets and treasure-filled mansions,
In a place, beyond the skies above us,
But you own a Lexus and a Rolls-Royce phantom.
Your daughter just turned 18, so you bought her a rav4,
Yet 3 square meals most of your members can’t afford.
It seems this gospel is not for the poor.
Father,
You heart is not as white as the cassock
It bears the cries of the young boys you defiled through the back door,
Now the holy communion tastes sour,
And the scent from the incense, is without a sweet-smelling savour.
You have become a whore to earth’s vanity,
There is no difference between you and the celebrity,
Because you go about pimping for prosperity,
Television and radio coverages boost your popularity.
But you have yielded to demons to hide your insecurity,
You are antithetical to divine authority.
Imam
Just last Friday after jumat,
You made statements to incite your members
Kill the infidels, you chant
Dipping the Koran into the Atlantic is all that matters
You say westernization corrupts,
Yet children are graduates of Harvard and Oxford.
Your power comes not from your spiritual authority
But from your people’s ignorance and mental poverty.
A demi-god leading demi-dogs,
On a cause that every one must accept by the sword.
Like you have a personal vendetta to redeem our ‘lost’ souls
Good poem. I like the thematic concern. But I believe you can write better than this
We learn everyday. Thanks
tell it to them. Good poeam
I just told them
The imam’s crime seems lighter than the others.
Well done.
Well done
I like. No be small holy holy.
Beautifully written.
You write very well. Another great work. Your imagery is on point, your diction, simple and unambiguos. Your themes are as clear as day. What could possibly be better? The mundane contrition of intellectual verbosity perhaps.
Thanks for your kind words
The annoying thing is that we keep falling for the antics of this ‘self-proclaimed’ and ‘deceit-ridden’ unsympathetic opportunists cloaked in a ‘holy-holy’ garb. I would to God that he gives everyone a healthy dose of discernment to curb our innate gullibility.
Love the message. If only those that follow them like sheep will wake up; maybe poems like this’ll wake them up.
Good one.
@afroxyz Good. But seek to be less prosaic next time. Use more poetic diction unless if you’re a poetic prose stylist. Teach the reality…
