Gospel
I swear
It is gospel
I
Have to
Write this
I
No longer
Can accept
The
Lie
I
Told
A
Young black
Guy
About
Zipporah
He was
Amazed
Christian
Boy
African
Boy
So
Indoctrinated
By the
Lies
Levelled
At him
From the
Pulpit
That he
Missed
The beauty
Of
The Bible
His faith
His
Religion
His
God
So was I
A boy
Indoctrinated
Castigated
Calcified
Until
My sister
Gave me
My
Fathers
Study books
I
Was amazed
Finally
Understanding
The Bible
The
Truth
The beauty
Of
The Word
For
Gods
Sake
My father
Was
A Preacher
I grew up
In the Church
Was born
On
Holy ground
A
Small thing
No
A revelation
A
Big bang
Moment
If only
I knew
50 years
Earlier
I
Would have
Told
All boys
The story
Of Moses
And
His little
Bird
They hid
In
Their
Rhetoric
Disguised
It
With
Clever
Use
Of words
They never
Told
The truth
I bleed
I
Was
Raped
By
The
Church
A
Young
Boy
Pure
At heart
Innocent
Intelligent
In
Tune
With
His
God
Was
Turned
By
Callous
Murderous
Lies
So
I
Like
Moses
Like
Solomon
Love
My
African
Queen
Love
My God
Love
My
Fellow
Africans
Of
All hues
I
Did
Not burn
The book
I
Should
Have
Burnt
The building
I
Told
A
Young
African
Boy
The story
Of
A
Little
Bird
I
Live
And
I
Shall
Tell
All
African
Boys
The story
Of
A
Little
Bird
Peace and love
Be with you
My fellow
Africans
Big
And
Small
