Adventures of a Cockroach
a hungry and tired cockroach
was forced into library of Bibles
by a platoon of chickens
with nothing to eat for months
it sat and thought deeply for solution;
“why not eat these Bibles to live?
I have advantage if I do so
I will eat God’s words innocently
drink altar wine I see there
when the Bible food and wine
reach my stomach and brain
I will understand message of God
I will surely enter heaven
when asked at the gate why I did so
I will say;
hunger for God’s words
made me to eat Bibles
thirst for eternal life
made me to drink altar wine.
love for God Almighty
made me a lunatic worshiper
