Dear Gehazi

Oh! dear Gehazi
Did you learn that from Elisha?
What have you got to do with Ferrari?
When will you be like? ur master?

hmm! u look for materials to get
your aim is to acquire private Jet
For you want to remain in d bracket
of the so called Elite
as if that is a ticket
to enter the heavenly banquet 

chai!
What are you doing with Bridget
Under your blanket 
when you are to be in the outskirts 
engaging in the conquest
To bring glory to the name of Christ.

Oh master of the vineyard
the journey is getting hard
And the chosen are not on their guard
Things are getting real bad

they rely on their own hands
so there are tumult among the shepherds
Not even better among the lads
they fail to imitate Jeremiah
they relax like the days of Hosea

though the harvest is full
the laborers are few
but for some on d field
they yield only bad fruits
complicating the work of the farmer

Hosea four verse six
that, they failed to fix
they have rather become beasts
feeding voraciously on the lambs

come oh Father of all
Give priests enthusiasm for the Gospel, 
Zeal for the salvation of all, 
witness to the true Spirit.
 humility in service, Fellowship with one another and with all.
