No Comprende


Poem Artwork

Why is it that when I tell someone,

“God spoke to me, and said this or that,”

They tell me that I’m crazy as a bat?

But then on the other hand,

In sermons all across the land,

Some preacher man will always say,

"God gave me this sermon the other day."

Are those of the cloth the only ones,

Who God will talk to like his sons?

Hell no is what I have to say,

I talk with Him each and every day.

Some days He talks back,

Some days He just listens to me bitch.

It’s up to Him which is which.

Now Televangelists will always say,


God said, "Tell them," send your pledge to me today,


and to many poor folks blindly just obey.


Because they are so well spoken and handsome.


Remember when He held Oral Roberts for ransom?


So if I say God spoke to me today,

Please don’t let them .............lock me away!!



 


Walt

Not a play on words , it's the truth for many like us. The chosen few...I do remember when that happened to O.R. I do know what you mean. Great Wondering to know. Lady J

I like this composition... "Just Wondering" makes me think deeper on the teleological destiny that mankind is to follow. Its wit, wise and
strikes profound thoughts on this century of poetic REVELATION.

In admiration,

Walt, i was sitting here nodding in agerement as I read. You hit the nail dead center of the tv evangelists "send check, money order or paypal". Lol! HE talks to me to and sometimes just puts one hand on my shoulder and the other over my mouth.

You aren't crazy Walt, he talks to me all the time. And all those "men of the cloth", well Oral Roberts is still here, talking and walking. As far as I remember, he didn't make the ransom. Jim Bakker, the one married to Tammie Faye, did jail time! And then there is Jimmy Swaggart. There is a movie that I judge Televangelists by. A movie starring Steve Martin and Debra Winger. He was a scammer, scamming poor unknowing people out of their money, televangelists. I believe he talks to all of us, it's just that some of us listen and some don't. The little boy asked his father, the preacher, who told him what to say in his sermons on Sunday. The father told his son that God told him what to say. The little boy asked him what all those wadded up pieces of paper were?
Good Work!!!!!

The question I often ask the so called christian people is if God sent me as the new son of God and I walked into the church and up to an alter would anyone believe me? If not would they crucify me again or lock me away instead of asking if it is a possibility.

Walt, the same God you're listening too listens to me and hears every word I say...and I receive many messages from HIM in so many different ways. I loved this poem...you are so right my friend and I'm glad you shared it with this reader. God does speake to us in many ways: through our hearts, through our mind, and through people. HE is alive & HE is well! Thanks for sharing.

Hell, even some of our politicians (who are really fund raising televangelists in disguise) claim they talk to God these days, so why can't you??!!
