“Slam poem about "Study the bible because it is interesting"”

Crack the spine,  
Let the thunder roll out,  
Ink swirling—ancient, alive—  
Listen, the words are not wrinkled,  
They're wiry, lightning-wild with questions.  
Study the Bible?  
You think it’s dusty,  
But it’s dynamite—  
Pages laced with prophets  
Who walked deserts dreaming fire,  
With fishermen who leaped through storm-winds,  
With David, the shepherd flinging stones  
At giants taller than your doubts.

You want plot twists?  
Check Genesis—  
Chaos snapped to color,  
Serpents scheming,  
Family feuds with floods.  
Or Ruth, love found in fieldwork,  
Auspicious faith in amber grain  
Breaking famine’s grip—  
These aren’t just words,  
They’re stories stitched  
Into the muscle of history.

Poetry?  
Have you tasted Psalms,  
Let lament bleed through the keys  
Of a harp-strung king?  
Language as raw as thunder at midnight,  
Pain singing praise;  
Ecclesiastes cracks open  
Cynicism and sunlight:  
Nothing new under the sun—except  
You turning this page,  
Your heart lit up with the electricity of Why.

Curious?  
Ask the Bible your hardest riddles—  
It won’t flinch  
From heartbreak, or hope, or hurricanes.  
Find the puzzle of Proverbs, sharp as flint,  
Or the swirl of Revelation,  
Lions and lambs, stars and scars,  
Symbols dancing wild on the edge of time.

It’s not just doctrine,  
It’s drama:  
It’s spies and spies-out, lions’ dens and midnight knockouts,  
Letters scrawled in prison,  
Miracles rippling through rivers and bread—  
The Word walking among us,  
Stories spun cross-limbed on Galilean hills,  
Alive with sweat and mercy,  
Blood and bread,  
Second chances shaking like thunder through the ages.

So crack the cover—  
Study the Bible because it’s a wild, weird, wise ride  
Across kings and carpenters, rivers and riddles,  
Wrestle those pages,  
Tumble with the text.  
Let the ancient tales spark your questions—  
Because faith is not just answers,  
It’s the adventure of asking  
Again  
And again  
And again.
