Upright! by Amir Timur

Upright!
By
Amir Timur

Have the lines in a verse,
Become so scrutinize by…
Intellectual minds, that-
In essence to life have-
Done much worse?

The scribes of old penned,
Words to challenge God…
Now they are gone for those,
Who have a spiritual hand..
Relieve our people from spiritual sin.

You are afraid to write about yesterday,
While those are packed in penitentiaries?
Due to negligence of being inferior,
Why don’t you read and reflect!
Have you become so educated, today!

That you fail to liberate, only those you know?
Jesus was no respecter of person, not all!
But now you have acquired material gains-
To the extent you lose your own soul.
The lawyers of today, sell out their people everyday!

The doctor, gives diagnosis, to make the people sicker,
The preacher preaches to misguide those searching.
Why have we stoop this low, not wanting to reflect-
On what was told, that we should be one people!
But yet you cry for God in your pain, with no respect!

Did you not read, that the up hill climb his to free a slave,
To help an orphan, to help a widow? You say no!
Then what makes you think that you can out do God then!
God is not a democracy, He dictates your life and mine…
But you think you stand alone, in a world destine to die!

You ask why? Really what has happen in the years passed,
Have life for all humans become distraught, has murder been,
What God condemns as sin, no, God never asked us to be perfect!
His Plea was for us all to be UPRIGHT, whereas we are walking-
On all fours, lower than the beast we consume, bringing life to end.

I have learned and been burned, to realize the hate that is here,
And I walk in know fear, I will speak my mind, and find that God,
Keeps me alive, and protected from the envy of mankind…
For if God was your father you would love me, but you are not…
From God, you are from the devil an open sneaky enemy….
