Day Nine
To the peddlers of the Law
Those who preach the consuming fire
Who have passports to hell
And make frequent trips there
Who sell fear, guilt, and rejection
And the religious pickpockets
The professional ones, and the upcoming
The ones you find in Oshodi park
And the ones with big cathedrals
(Apologies for putting you guys together)
I’m grateful for you
Your diligence is alarming
How you labor to reach the world
Your tenacity, and consistency
I must admit you do the job well
Of course, the cathedrals are evidence
You are simply successful in this
And success is only for hardworking people
I only wish your only focus is Jesus
Him only, and Him alone
Who he is, and what he did
To give the true gospel to men
But what does it matter
Whether out of envy, ignorance, or business
The message is preached
And to that, you do well
Keep studying the scriptures
“…and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded
God shall reveal this unto you.”
I am theimisiOluwa; and I’m still grateful for you.
