Title: Lament in church
By Onyeche Vincent Onyekachukwu
On a serious note;
There is God
There is a creator
But; why do we believe;
Heaven is up towards the sky?
On a serious note;
The once the creator
Find unworthy
Shall be cast away
But, why do we believe
That hell is underneath?
That the Devil is grey,
Red or black in cloth;
Found in snakes, owls
And a bringer of death?
Why do we believe
The LIGHT is of white robe
How can you convince Vinz
Yet tell Vinz to study books
But great minds and holy Bible?
Who made the forbidden tree
And what was the future plan
Why do we affiliate bad times
Accidents and coincidence
To the wicked act of the devil
Has the devil been misjudged?
Do we forget that this world
Is wonderfully made and
Not yet a perfect world
We are here as an enzyme
Catalyzing its creation
Catalyzing its destruction
Why make wrong decision
To scattered it all
Just to survive more hours…
We are passersby
Soon we all shall say bye;
Who comes into these world
Last for ages without tasting
The sweet and sour.
I am true to my religion
But we in the temple
Gets me into skepticism…
We scream Amen Amen
To prayers against sickness,
Witch hunts, prosperity
And we give a French kiss
To the love of sin
To achieving health,
Fighting competitors,
Pull them down syndrome
Bagging wealth.
I am not a pastor,
I am not a preacher
I am but a sinner
Please soul sister and brother
When I say amen
In a low voice
Or adamant to make some noise
Forgive me because I am not you.
