Don'T Stall a Hallowed Harvest

A little smile delights my soul A little money appreciates my life A little love achieves my goal A little care flatters my wife Strengthening my resolve to perform better Duties and responsibilities I bear In my role as family pace and trend setter In spite of mundane outfit and suit I wear As through lifetime I educate siblings Endeavouring to develop their potential To scale heights, to break through glass ceilings Beyond the conventional and the unintentional As I elect and select to reflect on reasons why At crossroads complications sometimes arise To conflate faith and pride in minds of the lie Lost in a labyrinth where to no surprise Confusion and division estrange sinners from thinners In the midst of splitting hairs and spreading fears Among the lost sheep who deem it unfit to hobnob with cleaners Immersed in verses of gossip as on my face tears Roll down, fall on my chest in my quest Into well intended missions that fall by the wayside Too low for zero as I invest efforts to test Waters in altars of misconception and prejudice propelled by personal pride Gone too far to dilute and denigrate the sanctity The salvation mission entails among fishers of men Who appreciate Jesus didn’t die on the cross to pronounce sinners guilty But to save humankind and I from the odious omen Misguided human lips with little knowledge utter As they wallow in a sea of benighted bigotry Where they play God and pronounce themselves better than the sinner in the gutter Who pleads at the feet of Jesus to send her providential poetry To open human eyes to tenets Christianity holds dear Not because I say so or I should denounce the new millennium Pharisee Whose grasp of the biblical truth swims in turbid unclear Seas of ignorance where the blind and the benighted can’t see Limitations and diminutions brought about by little knowledge Raised to a puny pedestal Wreaks havoc as it conflates sewage and sacrilege To decelerate a hallowed harvest and cause it to stall.
