RELIGIOUS FALLACIES

In secret temples, hidden from the sun A false faith gathers, deceit is done Gullible hearts, enslaved by design Treasures drained, with prophetic lies divine Their slogans echo, "Bring ye, bring ye" Promising blessings, but delivering misery To the obedient, a "bless ye" they say But to the rebellious, "curse ye" each day Elites and innocents, deceived and torn Scriptural knowledge used to justify their scorn Wolii, Pasito, Alfa, Malam, with strategies grand Enriching themselves, at others' command Unsolicited prayers, astrological feats Deceiving the vulnerable, with wicked treats Daughters, sons, and wives, in trouble abide Property and inheritance, seized with pride They claim divine right, a direct hotline Their opinions supreme, actions unstinted and fine "Lest thou touch the anointed of God" they cry While craftiness impoverishes, and hope denies Heaven's promise, a distant, fading light Yet death's dark shadow, fills their hearts with fright Mansions rise, empires grow, with oily gain Anointing oils, aprons, handkerchiefs sold in vain Armored convoys, bulletproof cars, their ride A contradiction, to their heavenly pride Their actions shout, "We fear, we hide" While preaching courage, with a false, holy stride.
