poem: MAN OF GOD

Clothed with the
Finest of linen
And silkiest of silks
For the most
Theatrical of effect
The 21st Century
Men of God,
Stage performers
Prosperity pastors
Criss-cross the world
In jets,
Private or chartered

Preaching wealth,
Health and healing
Abundance of it
Fleecing their followers
With their gifts of the gab
In the name of God

Tutored infirm
Suddenly healed;
The ‘spirit’ overpowered
Rolling, like logs
On the floor
Believers’ cheer, scream
In the seemingly
Atmosphere for miracles
A rhapsody,
Oblivious of reality
Ah, Emmanuel on TV
Christ in an embassy

Men of God
Preachers of wealth, health, and healing
Swindlers of the faithfuls
Robbers of souls
Enemies of Christ!

The code of silence needs to be broken in Nigerian churches. The Greed and Corruption pervading Nigerian churches are becoming more and more troubling. For those that have been black listed for daring to speak up, pls remain strong in the Lord. The house of God has become the new wall street for our supposed spiritual leaders. We are moving from the real reasons why we go to church to worship and focusing too much on how the pastors think about us.

No need to try to save them. Kick back, relax and let them self-destruct. We are all watching.

What are u watching?

^^ The ongoing process of self-destruct of the Nigerian churches. The Nigerian religious folks won't remain dumb forever.

Are you sure? Everyday I get more and more humbled by the profound depths of our dumb-ass-ity. Truly a bottomless pit.
