Spiritual Poverty Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Spiritual poverty in the modern world
The modern world is spiritually blind
The modern world is spiritually deaf
The modern world is blinded by pride
The spiritual ears are closed by greed
Abject spiritual poverty in the modern world.

Spiritual poverty in religious leaders
Spiritual poverty in churches
The sheep are wandering in darkness
The shepherds are direction less
The shepherds need guidance themselves
The shepherds need light
The shepherds are languishing in the night
with no hope for the dawn.

Spiritual poverty because they have rejected Christ
Spiritual poverty because they hate the light
Spiritual poverty because they love darkness
Spiritual poverty because leaders are clueless
Spiritual poverty because of arrogance
Spiritual poverty because of ignorance
Spiritual poverty because of lack of knowledge
Spiritual poverty because they despise knowledge.
