“thus Saith The Lord” by PIPROM(m): 6:29pm On Apr 15, 2010 |
Mercenary missionaries Pontificating on pulpits With putrid beef Stuck in their throats Like snake Stuck in the throat of another. Their forked tongues Manage to speak varied tales Of “thus saith the Lord”. Pockets of their missionary robes Are laden with twisted truths As they scramble To choreograph the hypnotized. Opium of their choir Induce mass hysteria And make-believe, Promising the zealous Paradise hereafter. They minister to monarchs In dingy palaces, They dwell In false piety In paradise here. By Chidi Anthony Opara (From author's Facebook page) |

I like your poem.You manage to capture the present day pratices of some religious men quite nicely The part like snake should read ''like snakes'' Keep up the good work! |
