Spiritual Celebrities Poem by Qiniso Mogale

They have bought themselves flashy cars
They have built state of the art mansions
They have built churches that cost millions
They wear expensive suits
They are surrounded by body guards
They are spiritual celebrities
They are supposed to be servants of Christ.

They have fancy titles
They call themselves Doctors, Reverends, Apostles
They are offended when not addressed by such titles
They take great exception when not addressed by these titles
They are obsessed with these titles
The work of God comes second if not last to these titles
These titles have made them spiritual celebrities.

The apostles who walked with Christ would be dismayed
They would be flabbergasted
They would be confounded
They would be nauseated
Modern apostles are self serving
Modern apostles are not concerned with lost souls
They are concerned with accruing earthly riches.
