WORD-FAITH
[an allegory on the danger of the Word-Faith cult]
Violent fingers clenched
Iron surrounding copper and lead
a Spark of insanity builds up despair
a Cry in the Dark
Iron lets go of copper and lead
a Depression of speed and metal meets air
Violent hands open
Iron drops down while copper hits ground
and lead turns into a pressurized head
Violently hands fall
Iron and copper strewn out to each side
while life escapes through a way made by lead
Violent hands lay still
Iron and copper and lead on the ground
Faithful witnesses to dealing with sin.

[The Word-Faith cult has had its share of faith-related deaths. People who died, because they "stood on and claimed every promise in the Word." Instead of trusting in God's sovereignty to do His will, they claim the creative power of God's Word for themselves, even godliness. The result can be found with a simple search: some died, or had their family members or relatives die, or maimed and crippled, for believing in the power of their own words, instead of the Power of the Word, Jesus Christ.
The ending is based on the cult's view, that man becomes "God-on-earth" when the spirit they pray to inhabits them. And since God cannot become sick, and they believe it is sin that creates sickness, it is literally their sin that kills those who die of cancer, TB, ebola... any illness or disease. No wonder their preachers let go of faith and run to the doctors when sick - see Joyce Meyer, John Osteen, Kathryn Kuhlman, Ruth Ward Heflin, Kenneth Hagin Sr., E.W. Kenyon, Jamie Buckingham, John Wimber...]
