Preacher man

Preacher man

A Poem by Kayleen
"

the church! the church! all eyes to the church!

"

Preacher man
Don’t take my hand
Lead me not astray
My trust is in God
Not your holy facade
I won’t be taught to prey

With saintly charms
To twist their arms
As you put on a play
The grace that you offer
For a coin in your coffer
Can hold no real sway

I love the hypocrisy cloaked in the illusion of piety, where it is a rarity that many "walk their talk". You tell it perfectly here and I like the word play on "prey". I really enjoy your writing :) Penny

I love it :) Its simple, easy to understand, and really says you can hold your own and don't need anyone to go around telling you what to do with life or how to live it.
Great job :)

I love the message, the dark undertones in your descriptions.

I really enjoyed it, from the sarcastic flare to the over all message. Well done.

Very good ! I enjoyed it ! It is also very true ! Today all preachers care about is the money... they don't care about His Word... Most anyways ! Some still stick to the beliefs of the bible though 1
