The Christian Fanatic

A sharp stone shoot

Right pass my foot

With my wide eye

I couldn't see

But the pain feels like a raving sea

I hear a voice shout

It is this young woman who is stout

"Devils bird, go back to where you came from

Before I pound you like a drum"

I stare neither in shock nor a bit surprise

To her, am just a prize

They told her am evil

And am carved out of the devil

But I endure this everyday

Like the hungry goat and fresh hay

Perhaps I should heed to her warning

Because it won't be heart warming

When I fall down from this perch dead

 

But wait a minute

Is that a bible she holds?

I can't believe this scene unfolds

What is she doing up late

What is this called? Fate?

She is a fanatic

And it won't be fantastic

If I linger here long

Cos I would be squash like the frog

She just came from conversion

Those people who act like they are in convulsion

But don't worry

Like the tatted worry

We all know she is truly converted

Leaving her husband home deserted

I will be a testimony at church tomorrow

For my story she will borrow

To tell her ignorant lies

About how the evil owl dies

Even I an owl know the truth

Right from the ground to the root

That she lives in illusion

Despite all her life has been in confusion

Perhaps you are right

Down to the upright

That they need something to believe

But you should know it is all to deceive
