Poem Commentary

Crooked Pastors "woolves in sheeps clothing"

Misnomer

One joining your flock

Now fifty one

One sheep gone astray

No worries, You have fifty left

 

What shall I render,

For your extravagance?

Yet, never broke bread with you

 

Work hard night and day

Keep your flock intact

Give till it hurts…

 

Children’s ministry, work

Choir ministry, work

Pastor appreciation, work?

 

Your actions scream

Makes your loud voice very faint

 

Have faith n’ yo’ faith

Like a pyramid scheme, I evangelize Your dream,

Just a free benz ride


My dream, to save a soul

What do I render to save a soul?

My lights… my gas… my car… my house

My kid’s college fund?

 

Your dream, a free private jet

My dream, to save a soul

 

Thought you do not believe in all hallows eve?

No recognizing your disguise

Wolf nature, sheep clothes

 

Yet, the Gospel is Free

I get the keys to the kingdom, but yours is a misnomer

Get it right, or get left!

This is a great poem! I loved the imagery that you used. We seem to have some of the same philosophy. :)

I saw a selfish shepherd and a child who sees the truth using a heart tuned in true, doing what we must really do! Sweet write!

Thank you for your comment... I am so happy that you can identify with what this poem is saying.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
