Best Preachers Poems

two bible-blabbering, prattling pastors

   from two denominational sectors

      ended up in stitches and bloody plasters;


those around said it actually began

   when one yelled, "faith alone can save a man!",

      the other...

“And for what, except for you,
do I feel love”
Wallace Stevens 


Concealed in full view
there are sanctuaries where you
can go when the shrill noise
of politicians, preachers and prophets 
gets too loud -  the quiet 
of a morning wearing a glossy melt 
of frost honeyed in...

Money consceous in precise.
It's a bone thrown to domesticated dog,
My whole life was set on clock,
Narrow way wasn't part of my want...
Broadway was a prioritised sort,
Fire in my heart shows Golliath size,
Nobody knew David would be in God's eyes,
In spite of leading classy trites, 
Those...

I'll tell you about something that is rotten to the core.
When outside of church, some preachers cuss like sailors.
My friend saw some of these preachers who like to cuss.
They should be ashamed, preachers are supposed to set an example for the rest of us.
When they...

Preachers Are a Cure for Insomnia

By Elton Camp

Most of them tend to drone on and on
Long after audience interest is gone

What they say all have heard before
And don’t want to hear it anymore

But custom demands that they...

Tell me! Is it to which we live to which life give and take? Is it that of the world we 
partake? Is it God we seek or do we believe? Maybe you just having a blue day 
why do you not seek God for...

Till tomorrow a nasty style
Nigerians stretch a bold mile:
Sermons which begin with obituary 
And proceed to The Mortuary…
 
The Waiting Choice of Deaconess Emmanuela 
Seeking and discovering The Best Umbrella 
For mandating sinners’ fastest repentance 
Of deeds that might no more clinch penance. 

Also, of...

THE FEET OF THEM

How beautiful are the feet of them, 
the pillars of strength, and stance of him,
the hands, the smile and face of him, 
who brings to us good news. 

How lovely are the voices of them,
the song, the Word, the sound of him,

I
When my landlord is a slumlord
The sermons also mock God
"There but for Grace go I"
Helps see a plank in my eye

II
Here, no exposing of hypocrisy
Makes a difference to men, women, me:
Sex and money, sex for food -- for lazy
Is the South African -- post-Mandela's day**

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

In pools of many colors, as vast as salts and sea,
It, streams in proximity to you and me
It is Endless Source most healing;
Spoken of by matriarchs, past and new.

Faith, grace, and mercy stood as firm as,
The hands of time, that stretches beyond the blue -

Eyes of a trader 
With words of wisdom
You make destruction look so good
You don't use force
But the beauty and cursive of your words is tantalizing

Your like a...

Pundits preachers politicians
you may see
attorneys too
and even agree with me
I think you'll find
all have an agenda
with an axe to grind
lining their pockets
feathering their nest
keeping their cards
close to the chest
saying one thing
doing another
I'd take 'em out and shoot 'em
if I had my druthers
and then there's censorship...
