'Hollywood The Viper' Poem by Preston Mwiinga

'Hollywood The Viper'



Hiss! Hiss! Hollywood the viper.
So deadly and poisonous to our society.
You entice people to fall into your traps like eve fell for the old serpent, the devil persuading her to eat of that fruit.
O Hollywood that old serpent of today, how many have you brought down in the name of you shall not usually die.
When you hiss, youths are taken into your deadly trap hidden in the name of modernization.
Our youths speak as if they have eat hot chili in the mouth, they are ex`s.
The boys` trousers are always almost falling
Kapena tileteko folk lifter to help pulling them up.
Respect is now old fashioned as they claim they live in a civilized world.

The girls dressing has nothing to desire about. See through look sexy, long dresses are for old women.
Kissing in public is a way of life.
Drinking carelessly and sleeping around is now a daily meal.
The girls no longer cook like their mothers, they now drink like their fathers and prostitute like their brothers.

Going to church is boring, going for movies and watch latest Hollywood movies keeps life moving.
Studying the bible is a non starter, what-sapping and sex chatting is what keeps people busy.
Having a hard-copy bible is phasing out and having bibles on the phone is okay,
Yes it is okay but the same phone is equally a carrier of obscure materials.
Dying from malaria is rare yet dying from Aids is topping like on the bill boards.
Singing gospel songs make one deaf and worldly music put people in the worship mode, yes the devil worship mood.

Hollywood the viper how many strong people in their faith have you gone away with?
When do you stop?
Wasn't our mother Eve enough?
Through Christ in us we shall not allow you to bring us to ruin. Because you are the viper, that old serpent in the garden now hiding in the name of Hollywood city.
