THE PULPIT MEN by Abel Phiri
This what you utter is without precedent but the earnest and devotion of your voice is without fallacy This what you speak are hollow pipe dreams but this what you do fills it with hope The truthfulness of your lies is unquestionable the wisdom of our foolishness you harness Our pleas you plead to address our tears you cry to wipe the rhythm of your voice is carnival to our ears articulateness eloquence manipulation persuasiveness Immense delusion! You stole our love in guise of a saviour on the pretext of a redeemer our heads your tarmac to heaven you ascended now we chide our trust, one another We serve sentences you serve terms our dreams are still hollow but our hopes are to the brim of your dreams.
