UPON THE PULPIT

UPON THE PULPIT

A Poem by Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chukwuebuka Benson
"

Satirical, despodent are the anointings, children of the God!

"

                


A brand upon which a name had culminated

Itself, sat on a glorious chancel entitled

Themselves, "Apostles and children of the God"

 

They told us that we are going to heaven.

Everybody is as important as nobody.

A clause upon which an ego,

Was buried underneath-on top of the pulpit

Stood before our very face and preached.

 

We have heard them from the backbench

Our Apostles had spoken. They said,

We must not push our manhood into

The virginal’s cup.

 

That was sacred to break; that cup

Most ordinarily ordained among

Our married sisters and brothers

Who took them undefiled into the white-bed.

 

They reaped the grape fruit, and blotted

Out the seed before a month a spinster

Had germinated an embryo

Upon which a sperm was govern.

 

This was left to do at the right time, we know!

We locked up our manhood, zipped into

The centre of our two laps bleaching.

A pale fluid at orgasm, should we paint, or not!

 

Some watched from the chancel and viewed

Who had painted. Are they delighted in the scene?

Should we complain or knot?

Some are not overwhelm by her impulse.



If manhood were stubborn, even

When they were emotionally beaten,

Would refused to push with a painter.

 

That was an art of santity an Apostle

Painted on the pulpit last night.

Crafted number of all are human!

This is a defiant piece of writing, damning in its critiques of those who go against the sacred words of the apostles in relation to marriage and sexual intercourse.

There is real doubts weaved throughout this piece. Questions about the validity of those on the pulpit, the word they preach, their reactions to the actions of those they preach to, and the actions of our fellow man.

A very deep, concerning write. Potent and well written.

Hmmmm! Your review is as excellent as you thought. Thanks for your wonderful review.
Powerful usage of the word. I wanted more. You need to write a book. You give taste and short vision of places and thoughts. This poem had a lot of meaning needing defining. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I am not a psychologist to critique the content but a writer that admires your bravery to mix those two subjects that are real and publicized in newspapers.

Thanks excessively for a review well done.
Extremely clever and intriguing read any-Ota.

'Should we complain or knot?'

Let's say you're not going to earn any extra points to the pearly gates with this one, snarky and smart read.
