The Bible

Some say it's just a book, 

It could be read, 

Cherished

But like drug some are hooked

Some wield it like a tool

It can spin us into wool

They manipulate our mind

By refractracting its light

Some say its food

So we stay hungry. 

It's God's word

And we are to eat every bit

I say its a manual

A guide to the truth

It's the record of an age long relationship

Between man and his root

The Bible is a mystery

No one attains mastery

It's the fuel for our battery

And in war its our armoury

It's also for purification

And it talks of remediation

Its now the basis for my existence

So fate is a negation of providence
