Peacock Prophet

God forgive me for being opinionated 
For not all of us are fuchsia infactuated
With that young peacock preacher
Watch him puff up proud to lead her
To her denim despair 
From the pulpit to satin’s pit
You see they had a ten year affair 
Wow look at his ego glow
Neon on ions of black pride
She did a Facebook post
A tell all and then she cried
But her photos although damning
Were like spamming 
The church will forgive him
But not her
He is a habitual fornicator
A loose lip ladies leech
Instead of removing him
They will only lift him up
And pray he keeps his gift of prophecy 
Despite the hypocrisy 
The money keeps flowing
Congregation keeps growing

Personally, that preacher should have been long defrocked and sent out in the wilderness. Any preacher who cannot control himself, should leave of his own accord.

I don’t agree. He should be humbled. Thanks for reading.

WHY IS IT ALWAYS THIS WAY? Ever since I can remember and since I've read about, anyway... No ignominy, no shame.

Oh wow. Is this a true story? You hear lots of stories like this. It reminds me of AI poets. Practicing something that is not even the real you. Shameful beyond words. Good poem.

Yes it’s true. Thank you. The story went viral and it’s not the first time he has been in this kind of drama.
