“To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and threat of eternal indecision.”  Dr. Maya Angelou

THE AIM OF RELIGION IN THE WORLD EMBELLISHED BY GLUTTONY

THE  FACE  OF RELIGION IS EMBELLISHED WITH GLUTTONY AND GREEDY PEOPLE WHO CLAIM  TO KNOW THE REAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE WORD

There is uncertainty to what religion means to us and the greater communities of our nations (humanity) in this latter day mission to faith. More and more focus is placed on acquiring material wealth, rather than reaching for the hearts of the “meek”. Many people are being doped, into assorted  religious affairs that promises eternal healing, giving endless riches to the verisimilitude leaders, however leaving many robbed of their daily essential provisions.

Around the world, especially in the African landscape, the aim of religion is obscured, with false Prophets arising out of the need to gain wealth from the needy rather than to improve the lives of those that are destitute. South Africa is one place that is filled with such occurrences of pseudo-instant-healing Pastors; who come in the form of Christian faith missionary leaders – cults, claiming the “WORD” as their weapon.  

In Johannesburg and surrounding areas, nomadic religious missionary cults are prevalent, with leaders from other countries in the African terrain. Making religion a business, filled with performances of the “WORD” and scams to make the faithful pull out their last “Rand”, their last “Dollar”, their last “Bread” hoping blessings shall be bestowed upon them, and they shall be saved from eternal damnation.

Karl Marx once cautioned, “…it is not the consciousness of men which determines their existence, but, on the contrary, it is their social existence which determines their consciousness.”

History is bedecked with people who are manufactured by their existence; people who claim that they are the chosen ones that will lead people from darkness to light, only paving the way to their extermination - using the “WORD” as their phony consciousness.

This new age uncertainty to phony wordy consciousness, coupled with greed, has marched the world into a chaotic order, and created false Prophets. Prophets who predict the end of the world; who go to hotels and lock themselves up for a whole weekend, only to wake-up to a reality that the world is still going around the sun, dawning in the east and dusking in west.

The unfortunate thing about the reality to life, is that no man on earth possesses supernatural godly powers, that enables one to bring the dead to the living, or take away a terminal disease from the terminally ill. Yes, the world does have people who can foretell the past and the future, however none of these people are Messianic in temperament and aptitude. They only aspire to be, however in so doing , do more damage.  

The truth about humanity and all its social stance, is that in the face of giving hope to the hopeless; love to the hated; healing to the beaten, and care to the needy – the face of religion is embellished with gluttony and greedy people who claim to know the real consciousness of the word. Its original purpose lost in tainted hands of humankind.

WORD TO THE NEW TRUE WORD REVOLUTION    

By Linda Sakazi Thwala    

Not a Nineties Baby, walk forged and shaped  by the tears formatted by the Gas. Dripping unto Mellow Yellows and Hippos. Shouted the unknown Mandela’s name barricaded by stones of Calvary – Kiwi, Coca Cola trucks going up in smoke; somersaulting, rolling with burning flames and blood in hand. Not a Nineties Baby! I was born in the seventies, witnessed the eighties’ uprising - Comrade! Word to the Power of Light! NELSON MANDELA, AND BANTU BIKO are my philosophy.
