They Know Not What They Have Done

Vote up vote down,

vote for a clown.

A figure head,

lying in a bed.

A man leader,

for those who have no reader.

Wouldn’t listen to the few wise men,

engulfed in one’s own sin.

Make me feel good,

look good,

I wish you would…

give me this, give me that—

get involved in a spat!

Your view, my few—

religion and politics don’t mix.

Can’t sit down with brothers,

who support those under covers.

Drank from the well that they bring,

listened to the songs that they sing.

Men compromise truth for lies.

Truth tellers they despise.

Angry because you don’t know,

what goes on behind the show.

Pretenders follow Jesus when it benefits them.

Cult members go beyond, go out on a limb.

Many sheep too lazy to think,

won’t even wash clothes that stink.

Sit in front of screens,

Looking for excuses to be mean.

Not really interested in one’s feedback,

got a task list to do, a stack.

Just curious to know,

are there those who saw pass the show,

and what more is there to know?

Poem: Don’t Hate the Church by Nicholl McGuire

Didn’t like what they said

Or how you were fed

Told you to pick up your own bed

Didn’t like where you were led

I get it.

Found a way to release the bitterness within

Found a way to justify your own sin

Now you have a heart like tin.

Criticize me for the words that I preach

Call yourself trying to teach

with a contract breach?

Said you would draw people near to our Lord

But it seems you are cutting people with his sword.

You see pain can make one go insane.

Talk about things in a negative way,

all the while forgetting to pray.

Now I didn’t want to be the one to offend,

but seriously brother you need to look at your own sin.

Standing before the masses while giving homeboys passes.

A signal hear, while hiding a tear,

where exactly is your fear?

The Father is waiting while you are baiting.

But you are too busy thinking about the next one you’ll be dating.

You put yourself in a position to hand hold with a Christian,

while hiding your own personal mission!

Your hopes and dreams you played out one day,

when you talked real long, but with no biblical verses to say.

Oh, but people clapped and clapped for you,

And said, “I wish long ago I met someone like you.”

Grabbing up the praise,

walking around in a daze.

You start doing what your enemies do,

living a life that isn’t necessarily true.

So what is God to do?

Post you up in front of others,

seat you before skeptical brothers.

Ask you to walk right

in the public’s sight.

But you can’t walk alone, nope, not without the Savior,

and definitely not without some favor.

You, like so many, will learn the hard way,

When you’re on your knees kneeling down to pray.
