Priests and Councillors

The Church has a far greater obligation Than the Priest running a profitable congregation And the Councillor seeking re-election To uplift the communities and build a strong nation The Churches are far more powerful and numerous Than the corruptors who twice a decade ridicule us Procrastinating in the potholes of the road to progress God shouldn’t also be a candidate on a ballot at the polls We praise God through and, in the name of a Pastor Choose a government to ‘Party’ instead of fulfilling a manifesto The Bible hasn’t changed for 2000 years, but still we moralise And He hasn’t failed us yet, are we losing patience? I see suits and ties with robes and white Roman collars And there’s no distinction they are part of the same order Tithes and taxes imposed and shared over tea parties To luxuries of big business, mansions and German cars
