PREACHER AND TEACHER

So the preacher preached

On the pious pulpit

Looking on head tops

Charging by every “amen”

Like a goat, he was sent in

By a wife he thought was ignorant

And listened as he spoke

He held his pen and jotter

Turned when there was laughter

After sermons he looked down

Only to find marked mistakes

Of the one who was untouchable on the pulpit

Does God utter mistakes?

Can’t God, owner of language,

Speak flawlessly by Himself?

Did his congregation hear him err?

Perhaps, after he had preached

He too should be given the chance to teach

To straighten all the bended language

Too bad he was thrown out like garbage

By smart bodyguards, before his words reached the mic

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

Ahhh, humans will always err and do not always have the best motives. Even preachers succumb to the temptations and failures that all humans are subjected too but their mistakes are highlighted greatly because they have taken on the mantle of teaching others about God’s word. Many, many, terrible mistakes that lead people away from God or twist his word to foster hate and killing. I believe God weeps when he sees what his children have done and continue to do using his name and word as a weapon. Great job as always, Cecilia. Thought provoking.
