Church

A Poem by Kupendwa
"

One time I was sitting in church and I needed to write. This was the product of that. 10/7/2012

Church

A place we call sacred

Though it is far from holy

Plagued by the lying,

Fake, judgmental, deceptive, wannabe,

Overly religious, ignorant, bigot, crazy,

Hypocritical curse upon society known

As Christian

 

A place said to be filled with love

So sadly love is not the first thing seen

Rather, we feel the ever-watching eye

Looking down because our clothes don’t

Seem as clean, our shoes are not free

From dust, our scars, they bring disgust

 

But not all who walk these golden

Streets of Christianity bring hate

Some do not raise their head so high

 

These few who know love

This minority who is actually true

They are the church

 

Even though these phony haters

Infiltrate the lovers’ ranks

They are not Christian

They are not the church

They’re nothing but arrogant imposters

And close-minded fools

 

A tree must bear fruit to be a fruit tree

Likewise a Christian must bring forth

Faith and hope and love

They must bear their fruit

Otherwise these Christians

Are not so Christian after all

 

So remember, the church is this group of

People who love, not the building

Filled who those who destruct

Yes so true, the true believers do not follow the ways of the Church they follow the ways of God, His Love, His Word and His ways of being. I love this
