If Jesus Were Real (poem)

If Jesus were real, how would he feel?

A world of close minds, people who kill for a few dimes,

people exchange respect for sex, they get their checks and think it’s a flex,

the constant need for validation has people in desperation, their reputation needs a constant supply of admiration,

people are afraid but never prayed, their peace is decayed and dismayed,

people choose emotion over logic, an unnecessary demotion, a most worthless devotion,

bullies still exist and at times use their fist, make others suffer because they think they’re tougher,

males and female dating dynamics, constantly debating, hating and not relating, talk past each, no one wants to be last, neither side can be surpassed,

it’s gotten bad folks, it’s sad but I’m far from mad,

Standing outside the box I’m in shock, a nation of retaliation, frustration and content starvation,

if Jesus were real, how would he feel?
