False prophets

Sleep and wake in fear
Spirits cause everything
Consultations and exultation to a deaf God
Fast and pray lest you fail
God is hardest to please
God is dead to us
We buried him in ignorance  
 
False prophets - our ancestors danced with them
False prophets - our parents fell victim
False prophets - we are enslaved
 
I see this  
I see that  
Our demons never fight
The salt and oil we douse at midnight
They protect us
 
False prophets- we listened
False prophets- we believed
False prophets- we are enslaved
 
Wives hide nakedness from husbands
Strip from cloth to thought for them
Faith overburdened with naivety
Knowledge that redeems,
Lost to teachings of captivity and unrighteousness
 
False prophets - our ancestors danced with them
False prophets - our parents fell victim
False prophets - we are enslaved
 
The greed that keeps them afloat  
Sinks our soul and glory in muddy waters
Shame only comes at the end
The end comes at our loss
We fear those we should love and love those we should fear
 
False prophets!
