Who Should Be Teaching Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What is the point to be made,
To pray for answers from questions...
Asked by those proclaiming faith,
If truth delivered is refused.
And then objected to refute it.

People say they pray faithfully.
To do it and not just on Sunday.
But want proof that truth,
Guarantees will improve...
Their daily lives lived,
They've become subjected to accept.
Without evidence that leaves,
Anyone peace of mind to get.
They want to know with it shown,
That a truth kept to believe in...
Can be promised to them,
To be effective.

'Are you all members,
Of the same church? '

-Of course we are!
What kind of question is that?
Besides being inappropriate.-

'Who should be teaching that lesson?
That one about truth.
To accept and not argue,
Over the benefits of it...
To live it effectively.
And never to reject,
But reflect it to respect.
The police?
Judge, jury or your preacher? '

-Who preaches to us,
Our religious beliefs...
Has nothing to do,
With what's going on to disbelieve...
In today's society.-
