Rich Pastor

Rich pastor
preached, looted, lied
much wealth he got
Ten million dollars
he kept saying;
“put this in my coffin
some I’ll use to bribe
Angels at check-points
when I reach heaven
I’ll offer God the rest
to work out quick entry
and high place in heaven
that happens on earth
happens in heaven
the Lord has spoken"

Great poem with a good subject matter. Many pastors in the world are living fake lives of piety today; religion has become a business venture.
