The Backslider

The backslider stepped into the chapel like an angel, Outwardly, he is full of piety, Inwardly, he is only a pity. True bliss left him, even purity and dignity. Though he mingled with the Churchyard And in prayer session, he prays even louder, So you get inspired and pray too with strong power. Joyfully some backsliders will rise and shine again, While others remain in their stain and gross pain. If i were you oh backslider... I will stand up and fight the destroyer. You must strive and maintain your spiritual drive, What drives you should be the cross, For in him there is no loss. Arise backsliders and stop being slackers, Christ is coming son. CM Onyilo (Lightning Ink).
