POEM: LUCIFER'S INVASION

The Church has been Invaded!

Lying here belly flat
On this depreciation-infested shattered mat,
My whole being connects with this cold floor
Creating an inner gushing of verbal repertoire;

From the old dogged Patriarchs
Who had not laws nor monarchs,
Yet their faiths, the  world astounds
How Yahweh they pleased without prejudice nor bounds;

From the gutsy Prophets
Whom, in their hands laid the entire laws in snippets,
Giving their all, to firmly stand
Daily waiting for leads from no man's hand;

From the great Kings
On whose fingers laid gold-plated rings,
With so great a responsibiliy
Of leading God's people out of ignominy;

From the great Apostles
Whose lives were patterned for us as examples,
As they daily fulfilled their purposes with no iota of guilt
Leaving to us a foundation, on which we should have built;

The Patriarchs we today smash in mud
Yet, their blessings we covet like an unfolding bud,
Forgetting in a flash, how great a price they paid
'Like exercising faith in wait,' for the aqua-raid;

The Prophets moved mountains
Never once disconnected from their fountains,
Many today, themselves parade
Deceiving many with stage-managed charade;

Kingships and thrones
Now crave for, with strains and groans,
Pot-bellied hombres by the corner wait
To sniff life out of their contenders, a bait;

The Apostles, under grace, broke great chains
Shepherds today, under grace, amass great gains,
With gumption the gospel was spread
But today, we mostly spread fear with dread;

David, far deep in the Spirit, lost
Danced before God knowing not its cost,
The synagogue today, has been invaded with a thrust
Breeding dance-steps which from hades burst;

Everyone's needs were dealt with in oneness
Ubiquitous in the fold now, is self-centredness,
From the pockets of brethren, brethren crave for gains
On the gospel raised they placards of shame;

The sheep-fold today, has been invaded
Lucifer's invasion has now escalated,
Minds, bodies and souls falling in pervasion
But the power to overcome lies in the GREAT COMMISSION!
