Today's Money Changers.....

     Today's Money Changers.....

We’ve moneychangers in God’s house

A stench to God on high

Upon the flesh just like a louse

They’ll suck God’s children dry

 

For gain, some sell their personal view

Like wolves they’ll seek their prey

Satan’s servants disguised in queue

Just like in Jesus’ day

 

So loud we hear their pious cries

Dressed in purple and red

Instead of doves they’ll sell white lies

This clan of walking dead

 

Self-righteousness is commonplace

Traditions by the score

This scourge upon the human race

Grows daily more and more

 

Let’s overturn some tables too

End man’s religious show

Drive out of church the devil’s zoo

Let living Water flow

 

Refuse the devil’s charming wares

Decline his luring freight

Reject his traps hell’s hidden snares

Beware of tempting bait

 

Purchase instead what can’t be sold

Let’s open eyes still blind

Let’s buy from Jesus’ purest gold

Silver perfect refined

 

Let’s buy today what God would sell

Silence the devil’s whore

Seek Jesus’ face this side of hell

Let’s enter Heaven’s Door…..

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
