Cha Sho Tao Poem by Cliff Phiri

Cha Sho Tao

Rating: 5.0

Woe to them...
Who made us jump, sit and wait
Without reason.
People who got us packing bags just to unpack.

I mean:

People who told us of hell
And never the existence of Heaven.
They told us not to sin,
But never taught us how sweet it is to live righteous!

How they would beat me
Whenever I failed my algebra....
Made the Cha Sho Tao known to me even in sleep;
But none bothered to tell me the way to a peaceful and prosperous life.

'Contaminated water kills'
We were taught...
But
The patterns to eternity they never said.

Behind me are thousands
Ignorant of their purpose in church
Because all they were told was,
'Sundays are for church services'
Full stop!

I always got to school on time
In fear of punishment...
To this day, the real value of time I do not know!

They made us believe in the non-existent,
See the invisible
When they knew what really matters!

to be continued....

FOUR: If we read The Holy Bible oft enough, then we will know how to live according to what Jesus taught us through The Holy Bible

THREE: if we really have belief in God, we know how to live according to Him slowly on, not all at once, meanwhile we know the right path to walk upon. God never wants us have more wisdom than we have at the moment
