The preacher preaches faith,<\/p>\n
Without a step-by-step approach.<\/p>\n
I ask a question, the response is a fumble.<\/p>\n
There is no conviction in those eyes,<\/p>\n
The vision, is like a veil of gauze.<\/p>\n
Does nobody see the broken mirror?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A village is only as good as its preacher.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I step away.<\/p>\n
Answers are too buried in their politics;<\/p>\n
so where do we go from here?<\/p>\n
The expectation is greatness, with no design in mind.<\/p>\n
Without a coach, I am my own leader;<\/p>\n
begrudged, I dredge the earth on which I stand.<\/p>\n
I am hollowed out,<\/p>\n
Questions must serve as substance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A village is only as good as its preacher.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Seedling ideas drop into the crux.<\/p>\n
Of nothing, answers grow<\/p>\n
for me, of me.<\/p>\n
The preacher’s voice stumbles in the debris<\/p>\n
of the cracked mirror.<\/p>\n
I break it. I see the pieces fall.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A village is only as good as its preacher.<\/p>\n
