TODAY
Today I went to church
You didn’t see me?
Me with a charcoal black Italian suit?
Me with black echoing dazzling exorbitant Mexican shoes?
Majestically treading straight-Yuck!
To the well arranged, dirty wooden seats-Yuck!
Near the holy altar of God
Me with a dusty, black leather bible of God?
I thought you saw me
Today was in church.

Today I went to church
The old had vanquished
The proud juvenile had arrived
The green gorgeous female buds I once knew
Now were baffled around like the nagging shadow
With millions of multinutritioned siblings
Their once well shaped triangular ripe breasts on their torsos’
Were now masses of skinny emaciated flaccid flesh
I stretched my thick hand to my Godly male comrades
And it was left screaming in pain
For theirs
Were jogged, rough rugged rocks
Definitely the hands that had built
The storied house of the president
You didn’t see me?
Today I was in church

Today I went to church
To go again I will never
Never!
The priest called me a filthy sinner
A repugnant sinner!
The holy priest isn’t a sinner?
For he makes the motherless mothers?
They were fertile women realizes the young girls?
Feeling total contentment in his craving loins
Tittering at the brink of divorce makes
The strong bonded couples?
A sinless father indeed he is
I made a history for today i was in church

Today I went to church
And tried to sacrifice
The one shilling I had in my pocket
Chingli! The mark it missed
To the altar it rolled
Stunning eyes then pricked me
The ambience smelt of blood full of hatred
For here people were loved
From how large what flew from their pockets
And yes!
Deafening thundering claps roared
When I gave one thousand dough for their ever-bleeding harambee
With envy, their eyes spilt drops of saliva
With spite, they gazed at my imported suite
Aha!
They saw me in church today
