The Preacher Chap
Friday Osato Ogbewi 1974 (Edo state)
He thoughts me,many things
In the holy book and admonished me
To be holy like the holy book
He preach about abstract kingdom of promises as a seed to
My soul with pros and cons
He thoughts me about offerings
Tithes and willfull giving but
He collect much from me on deceit
He gives me hope in trust and faith in action.
He said to me, you will inherit the
Abstract kingdom with all virtues
But the chap love colour but lack
Colour in the coloured world.
His status portray that of legal
Counsel with well press formalised colour that portray holiness. But conny and crafty in this game of sermonization.
His sermon deviod of the portions of the holy book that would rather dissuaded and cautionalised me about his true colours.
