WHEN LAST DID YOU SMOKE A JOINT?
When last did you smoke a joint?
I’m not talking of the rolls of marijuana or cigars
Or the Benson & Hedges that put us on edge
Darkens our lungs and before long we’re gone
All black everything in the funeral of another carefree novice
Gone without a moment’s notice
Know this, that I
I’m talking of The H.S
When last did you get drunk?
I’m not talking of the red wine or the bottles of Star
That stops you from shining
Or the Magic Moments of un-magical moments when you’re robbed blindly
Or the Orijin of unoriginal sins
Or the White & Mackays or Andres that lead you astray
I’m not talking of the burning liquor
That feels like the flickering flames of hell as it goes down your throat
Please note
That I, I’m talking of The H.S
You know the problem with the church today?
It’s that the youths spend too much time being sober
Instead of being hungover
Instead of being intoxicated by the Word of God;
Staggering under the weight of the anointing
Speaking in tongues
Driving lives under the influence of The Holy Spirit
We go about with our eyes wide shut
Seeing things that are not there
Praying to things that cannot hear
Putting the stories of our hearts in the hands of fate
Instead of submitting it to The Author and The Finisher of our faith
It almost feels like a Zombie Apocalypse
When I see young people who are spiritually dead
If only we smoked often;
We’ll be healed of our glaucoma cause we’re spiritually blind
We say we are the head and not the tail, yet we fail
Still sitting in ignorance till we’re now - behind
If only we got drunk often and bottled our worries…
