In the Ark of God

IN THE ARK OF GOD

Chicanery dancing to the rhythm of praise
Treachery preaching to the lost souls 
Betrayal ringing bell of service
Deceit clapping hands to the most high
Insidious schemes shouting Hallelujah
Cupidity for offering speaks in tongues.

Yet, our holy priests in the reverend pulpit
Speak of sanctimonious stained holiness
Even when in their loneliness 
Fornication reigns along abortion 
As they commingle and devour 
Mother and daughter in the upper room 
In their foolish quest for signs on wonders 
All in the same Ark of God.

Still, in the Ark of the most high
They dupe and lure millions off members
Articulating wonders and prosperity 
While they sprinkle water of Austerity
On many who surrender their tithes
To the Levites whose other name are thieves.

Voodoo they added to His Name 
To take the Ark to the next level
Or how do we appraise arson committed 
On members by the Priest called the King?
Burning congregation for repentance from sins?
Then, Lord Jesus would have burnt all in His sojourn.

Got inspired to dot it in Apete.
Packaged to x-ray the crime going on in the 
Church of God today, using Reverend King
Arson and criminal activities as a case study.
