Meditations Part 5...

Seeing is believing


Feeling is receiving


A burden


To let your soul feed on an experience


That every night, many guys


Slowly come to terms with


A life their told they've chosen


As broken as the church is


And soulless as a dirge can be


They merge with their surroundings


As pee takers take a pee


On those that's sleeping soundly


A man beaten


That was on the news the other day


Just for sleeping rough, abused


The vulnerable are nothing new


So I take a sip of chocolate


Thinking that I just went


And gave a brer my packed lunch


Appeasin' up my conscience


But greed had really fuelled my offer


Cus I wasn't really


Feeling them sandwiches


Was feeling for a one spend


So I appeased my purchase


With my charity


Not understanding


Jesus seeing my hypocrisy


Got that nice facade


Of a Christian philanthropist


But the damage based in


Sin when you dismantle it


That it's not about you


But it's all about me


Pride hidden in the system


That I'm established in


They say we love the poor


People say we love the poor


While some of us chillin'


In our buildings living happily


Not a thought is spent upon them


Nor is this thing centred on them


But we tryna make sure we survive


Through our bed of problems


Peeps take a backseat


When your thinking often


Of building up your businesses


And of increasing numbers


People aren't statistics


Jesus rolled with misfits


Who never had a clue


But that's who he served the vision


Chose 12, 1 left


But he preferred the Christians


Who chose to follow him to death


And were reserved a kingdom


Conferred upon 'em


Nah, you never heard him wrong


The poor in spirit


Are the ones he died to purchase from


A life of death


Sometimes we forget their plight


At times to love the poor


We just need better sight....
