Two Poems from our Religious, Christian, Jewish, Islam, Baptist, etc. Poetry Collection

 
 
wolves in sheep's skin
   
Author: Ben Otieno
   
Poem:
wolves in sheep's skin
   
  Read the writings on your pulpits
Open your praying eyes people
Behold brains are conning hearts
By the writings in the holy book
Evangelically dressed in cassocks
Rouges kneel upon your hassocks
Silently establishing their mints in you

Unaware of the ire of their falsehood
Nightly they draft their sugar-coated con plans
Choreographing lies in the name of the lord
Endearing themselves to people’s pockets
Ransoms they demand for spiritual kidnap

Every Sunday they drive to church
Vehicled in extravagant car models
Angelic postures they know to fake
Never putting their big bibles down
Greed dwells in their perceived creed
Enhanced by their thirst for money
Like that of our politicians in Bunge
Ideal scriptures they quote emphatically
Congregations to remotely mislead
As daily they thrive into affluence
Leaving their sheep in a comical penury

Gone are those Mosaic and Job’s days
When Angels were angels and Devils devils
Religion is now a vehicle to riches
Boarded at the terminus of vanity
Soon churches will list at our bourses

Of culture & religion
   
Author: Ben Otieno
   
Poem: Of culture & religion
   

One man’s religion could become another’s quarrel
But of culture, to the other it is more often a marvel
So why slayeth thyselves oh ye men of inflated godliness
Praying for peace, while inside you house bitterness
There is no peace left, not even for the dead in tombs
Let alone for the innocent, still growing in wombs
Yes! The truism of a supreme one reigns to eternity
But why embrace the extremes of religion, which is insanity?
Just retrace your footsteps along the paths into your past
For there all peace, oneness, and glamour are cast
Carry the virtues of your traditions into this fertile future
And share the beauty that diverse cultures brings along
For there dwells the most cosmic love for us to nurture
We live in religion, but in culture we rightly belong
