FAITH (Asore Ba) by Poet Dela

FAITH (ASORE BA)

Religion
Pride of a believer
Opium of the masses
Way of life

Purity reigns in the heart of a believer
Faith becomes the foundation of spiritual growth
With faith, mountains can be moved
Obstacles can be avoided

Bonds can be broken
And the impossible can realized
What baffles me is
Does being a believer mean you have faith?

Then who then is a believer?
A regular church goer?
Or
One who actively part takes in activities in
The Lord’s vineyard

Or
The individual who is a doer of the word?

Our society still has evil
Regardless of our believes
The Asore ba is well known
For donations to church projects

Participating massively in harvests
And even getting up to give offertory
From the first to the last
But in our society

The poor still remain poorer
The handicapped still remain in trouble
And the oppressed remain oppressed
Does the Asore ba take delight in seeing this?

What does the faith of the Asore ba teach?
What is the Asore ba also lacking?
Is the Asore ba lacking?
Teachings about giving widely?

Or
Morals?
Or he or she takes delight in seeing society poor.
For the seek of our faith and religion

Let giving be a habit
Humanity become a priority
Togetherness become an aim
And act according to the Lord’s word!
