I am a Christian and this poem is in no way intended to ridicule the Church or the Christian faith. It is simply a depiction of the impression some of the modern-day churches make on believers and non-believers alike. –Clement H. Holloway
The church today is not a church, it’s a person;
A prophet, Bishop, Angel.
Take him out, and you are left with a building.
The church today is not a church, it’s a prison;
A place we go to lock our common sense,
And hope that the pastor knows what the hell he’s doing.
The church today is not a church, it’s a Supermarket;
A place to buy, buy, buy…
Everything at a price.
The church today is not a church, it’s a nightclub at day;
A place where every lady dresses to kill,
And hopes that the pastor sees.
The church today is not a church, it’s a law court;
A place where you’re judged for everything…
Even the colour of your shoes.
The church today is not a church, it’s a cemetery;
A place we bury our enemies,
Holy Ghost fire!!!!
The church today is not a church, it’s a bank;
A place to invest all your hard-earned money,
And pray like hell that it reaps profits in Heaven.
The church today is not a church, it’s a disgrace;
A ridicule of Christ’s essence,
And sadly I’m a part of it.
–Clem
