Ways to God mustn't be cash paid
On last day He'd grant his rewards
Preaching should be hobby or aid
Speaker to toil as all not sell words
When lecturing turns to be career
It becomes goal and source of living
One sated leans to rest on his rear
Tries his best to grasp post of king
If evil was wrapped by all proverbs
It still is dirty and intent so wicked
Like rotten fruit within, out superb
Just devil angel-like shape masked
Dues of any to correct and advise
When perceives wrong or swerve
Show good-example acts to guys
By hands and words in such verve
Honor honesty and whole morals
Are not goods for trade and gains
Job is just muscular or intellectual
Given to fellows helpful as rains.

I would like to translate this poem
Sadly, some of the biggest hypocrites and liars are preachers of the word of God. But they have the gift of speaking eloquently, people listen to them for comfort and reassurance, and willingly and generously they pay the preachers for this peace of mind. The preachers do not believe their own words, but know what people want to hear and say those words for a price. You are correct, the way to God should not be bought or sold. Great poem, Kassem.
