Rotten Religion
Our Heavenly Father, Our Only and Begotten Son Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit
is about relationship
not religion
religion is the cause of confusion, and distortion
relationship with The Holy Trinity is about unification
let me make that abundantly clear
this poem needs to remind your "leaders" in church that you're never holier than Thou
long prayers does not impress God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit if you're heart is not in tune with God
y'all know its factual
i've seen churches where the setting looks inappropriate of a pulpit positioned higher than the aisle
last time i checked, we all bleed the same color
yet you have pastors, elders ( not all, but y'all know who y'all are) who feel
that because The Lord ordained you, that you have entitlements
being ordained is annoint-ing, not annoy-ing
ask king saul how that turned out
the prophet samuel spoke to saul stating what The Lord gives, He can take away
it was so bad, saul committed suicide and killed himself
i would never wish that upon anyone
not even my enemies
you have pastors who won't return phone calls after you call them to start
as my cousin and i always say "Breakin Bread"
don't send someone else to call on your behalf
why, because you just want to look good on a sunday solely?
i don't have to work up ranks just to have a conversation
nor be in their crowd to fit in
i stand out from the rest where i march to a different drum beat.
i would call that hideous act rotten religion
Christ never turned His back on people
why are you turning your back on people
is it because i'm not a pastor like you? i'm not on the same level (according to you?)
Jesus always had a moment to hear folks who cry out to Him
Jesus asked about their requests, and prayers
so if He can make time to Listen to our cries
why won't you
Beware like the late great Big Pun's song title
what the Lord gives, He can take away

Your poetry always reveals the truths of our world. This is so accurate, descriptive and clear. All of this is just prophecy being fulfilled... that there will be false prophets. More importantly, you not only write of the world's Truth- but God's Truth... and that's all that matters!

I really enjoyed reading this poem. It is very well written and flows well. But most importantly I can relate to the meaning. "Those who are last will be first and those who are first will be last" is what I think of when I read this poem. And also how Jesus said the one who wishes to be high in the Kingdom of God should be a servant to everyone. Unfortunately not all religious leaders understand that. Anyway, once again great poem. I haven't been on this site for a long time, but I am planning to be here more often.
