We All Love God. Yet…
We all love God As is evident In our packed churches On Sundays And all our masjid From Fajr to Isha Five times every day. Yet.. We cheat everything And everyone! Steal from the system Lie to save our arses Enrich ourselves By hurting others Spread so much hate To those different from us Kill, maim and destroy Color me purple But… Isn’t that goal of the exiled one? Isn’t that what makes him evil? How can we explain The vast chasm Between One we say Is the Epitome of holiness And our definitely UNHOLY behavior In almost all spheres Of our lives? Why are we then Wasting our time Doing all that ‘worship’ When we cannot Reflect the light We spend so much time Facing? In the words of Lauryn Hill ‘Check your motives and thoughts.’ We need to check our motives and thoughts. Ramatu Ada Ochekliye 26.04.2017.
