Spiritual Schemer

He approaches with an unassuming character
Claiming to have been called by the Omnipotent
Armed with impeccable eloquence
He hides under the vestment of spiritual farce
To galvanize his gullible preys
Manipulating them with thoughts of hallowed materialism
Feeding them with evil miracles and breakthroughs
Quick to avoid serious intellectual intercourse of salvation
Tagging any confront as heresy; an unbeliever you are
Advancing with great inventions in propaganda
He makes an investment on his victims
In the reverie of ‘give and it shall be given’
Before long, he establishes himself in true prosperity
Whilst his flock still await the fall of manna
Constantly kept an empty vessel to be filled by the schemer

Habitually found with the Holy Book
Yet ignorant of its liberating Word
For their faith is entrusted in his tactics
Forcing them to be engaged in spiritual prostitution
Keeping their minds and bodies in constant bondage
Will they ever search for the truth to be blessed?
He cash in on their quest for laying of hands
For they seek too much pleasure in miraculous deeds
Hardly heeding to the deadly danger of the narrow path
Even in their strength in health, they are kept weak
Blindly following the self-righteous schemer
Rarely partaking in acts of redemption
Where is the love of sharing in fellow-feeling?
In obeying and trusting the Divine Words
Blessed are they that seek first the Kingdom
And beware of the promises of man
Never be led to doom!
