Religious Robbery
Teach religion with your way of life
not with the word of mouth
preach religion with your practices
don't practice religion with preachings
I was told to give to the temple
yet the temple never gave to me
can a man rob God? oh foolery!
how can we rob a man we cannot see
how can you rob a poet of his poem
when even the best poems
are yet to be written and the best lines
are yet to be straightened
I have seen religious clerics
and preachers of deceitful charity
walk pass the poor with pockets filled
yet not a single dime given out
Oh peters, don't seek me with prayers
come to me with silver and gold
whenever I come to you for prayers
you seek my silver and gold
whenever you want to raise high
your pillars and enlarge your tent
you seek the little token I have to give
then send me to God when I need mine
