Hate to run into this cat in the dark. A conehead shaped head. This is a twist, Mikey is showing his spiritual side. Looks like a Naani to me, wonder how they got that name, Naani. I can't ridicule, when I got a beam in my own eye. wackydo

Not sure where Naani came from. Getting thrashed. They pulled the beam out of their eye and beat me with it! Hahaha. Check your mail. Cute dude, huh?

That's a riot, Mikey. I will check.

The perfect application of this well known verse. Nothing is a bigger turn off than a holier than thou preacher telling everyone how sinful they are. And by the way, send me some cash!! Has my vote. Great job. NG

Yeah, it bothers me too, that's why I go to a Church of the Nazarene, where the preacher is a God fearing, modest man who lives, as best he can, within his means. I hold little faith in TV evangelists who peddle their wares at the end of their programming--- or during it!
I recently heard one saying that a particular verse of scripture had come to them in a dream, and told them to proclaim to the masses that they are to "sow a seed" of $1,000 dollars to reap their harvest. Yeah, right, and the Devil told me that you are full of sh!t, my friend...

You make a strong point in these few syllables about a situation that indeed would be troublesome if it were actually to happen. God will hold such people accountable to Him, as He does each of us. Best wishes in the contest!

Writing a Naani poem with just four lines consisting of twenty-five syllables or less, takes some skill. I think you did a nice job here. I think one of the goals of a ministry is not to exceed the life style of the parishioners. Good luck in the contest.

Your poem is in excellent syllable count and line count for the naani
Braile - Braille?
I love the choice of cumbersome in describing the huge cathedral - it sets just the right tone for your social commentary
admonish - another perfect word choice for its tone - you make a powerful point about the hypocrisy of some churches and church leaders - I remember years ago talking my elderly sister out of sending a contribution to the Crystal Cathedral/Hour of Power show on TV for this very reason

I particularly like your ironic and sarcastic notes. If the Church sold all its assets and donated them to the needy - would that do them far more good than preaching to them? It would probably alleviate half the world's poverty at a stroke.
Your clever poem sums up many of their hierarchy's hypocrisy and pomposity.
Best wishes, Ted

good luck in the contest
your few chosen words allow the reader to see and feel the seeking of clarity within the church as some do not help or recognise the lowly preaching but not practising there ways
