Son of Man!

in #steemchurch8 years ago

Son of man! Where are you?
I have searched for you in the up and down
I proceeded to the left and right
I started from a house
I met disrespect with his trousers below his backside and stubbornness with her mini-skirts.
Adultery said to her you look good and drunk told me he is the lord of the house.

Then I entered an office
I was welcomed by genes of a boss in a skirt
She said Hi, and I replied Hello and moved in
I saw cheat, rocking a chair
And discussing with deceit his manager.

So I left and entered a shop
Lies told me he own's the place
And that greed was his colleague
Insults salted their tongues as
I tried to complain
Fake products smiled at me.

Then I ran into the streets
Cigarette and all forms of Make me high said Hi,
Rape asked me to please follow him
But before I could decide
Adultery was already saying hi, handsome,
I'll make you rich
I decided to run only to be greeted by guns and
"Bring it! or I kill you.
After which I ran with my legs touching my head and my shoes clinged to my hands.

Then I entered a school
Teens and Ty's were singing songs of fornication even in the open
With bribery and corruption as their principal and head of departments
I tried to talk to some of them only to meet cultism dancing in their hearts to music of lust and fame
Lies ruled their hearts and self-righteousness was their backbone.

Then I ran to the government house
Murder asked me who I was looking for
The son of man I said
So I got inside only to find lies with a crown on his head.
Secret cult and Idols offered me a drink
Greed told me to feel comfortable that he owns the place
Then I realised we were being ruled by darkness.

So I ran into my last hope, the church
Only to find those I ran away from
Just when I thought I mad an error
Mini-skirts and leggings said hi with a smile
You are welcome to the church
I saw backbiting singing praise and worship
With tongues that sounded like songs
He prayed with all firms of repeated sounds
I ran to the alter
Only to find slander, shouting and acting to prove a point
Entertainment was the agenda.

Son of man!
Where are thou
You said I'll find you where peace and joy
Sleeps in the heart of righteousness and
Self discipline feeds from the breast of truth,
Where love knows nothing but Agape.
You said in you I'll find self control,
Dinning in fear for the holy spirit and
Love for purity in the food of life
In man you said I'll find you.
Son of man find us
For we have failed to find you.

Thanks for your support @steemchurch.. Your encouragements makes me want to write more for the church.

This was a great composition mate and I love the closing part of the piece of poetry

This is an amazing anecdotes, it was like parables being spoken by Jesus. The pilgrims progress is a work that has such symbolism with mankind.

Your illustration is amazing for those diligently seeking God, thank you for this
