On Congregation And The Pastors Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Pastors are meant to speak the truth with love.
Some of them to keep their audience
and to maintain alliance with them;
they preach only the things they want to hear.
Others are vocal- the ease of frankness; the character of strictness,
yet everything are only projection,
to divert the attention/interest of the congregation.
Otherwise, the pastor’s private life will be scrutinized
to expose their hidden doubled life.
Few are honest and good in their preaching-
the balance of private and social engagement.
The way of life that does not end in front of the congregation
but continues to grow and mature even behind the every door
they enter to seek refuge and comfort.
