THE UNSCRIPTURED (controversies generated by the scriptures)



They lived free creatures
But after the written scriptures
We now have unsure future.
Thou shall and thou shall not guard our days
Let thy kingdom come we always pray.
Counting on what the scriptures say.

With the scriptures we made us cage,
Not set Free from the old siege,
The scriptures are here to save
But our blindness lead us to grave.

Should the Sheppard be wealthy?
"Holy armed robbers" the spiritual accused.
"It is unscriptured",
The son of man died poor".
But hath he not become poor for us to be rich?
"Care about the needy" they defended.
But will the poor seize to exist?
Hath God not saith that?

Should the Sheppard Sheppard with their wives?
"Only the man is called" the spirituals submitted.
"Thus it is unscriptured".
But will two no longer come together and become one?
"Not in this Case!" They argued.
But can one put asunder,
What God hath joined together?

Should women anoint and lay hands?
"It is unwritten". Says the spirituals.
"It is quite unscriptured".
Doth Deborah not judge men of Israel?
Doth the scripture decide for God
Which of his creations to use?

Should women wear weave-on,
Rings and trousers put-on?
"Abomination!” The spirituals exclaims.
"Such is unscriptured".
But hath God designed weave-on, rings and trousers?
Doth God distinct between them?

Should the acclaimed unclean animals be eaten?
"Taboo!" the spirituals shouted.
"Eating the unclean is unscriptured".
But hath God made anything unclean?
Can a clean God make the unclean?

Was the scriptures unwritten by men like us?
Was not emotions mixed with inspirations?

Scriptured or unscriptured
Hath we not the knowledge of good and bad?
Hath we not our conscience to judge us?
Doth the spirituals not have
The spirit ministering to them?
Doth common sense no longer sense?
Of all my unscriptured questions,
There are scriptured answers.
