WHY DID JESUS COME TO EARTH?
TO SAVE THE WORLD?
TO RULE THE WORLD?
TO CONQUER THE WORLD?




he had a better question

                           Whyd He come to his door then leave a pamphlet tucked in its screen
or a better question yet             
                     Why didnt He go down the street to where his racist neighbors lived and leave them a lil sumptinsumptin


Why would he know He didnt


because finding the pamphlet he hotfooted down the street to look and see

they didnt answer knocks at their front door 
no pamphlet
                                                                                             
they didnt answer the half dozen separate times he knocked to ask them why they were flying the Confederate flag on the street from the bed of their truck


cops said their truck constituted private property and they couldnt deprive them of their First Amendments Rights


Well Jay sus  he said  it seems that flying that flag in light of the recent murders of nine black parishioners in South Carolina is provocative
frankly intolerable

Arent you concerned for the publics safety


cops said they didnt see why there might be safety concerns


Hmmm  he said  I might be thick but I can imagine someone setting a flag like that on fire  And then perhaps the whole works going up in flames in the ensuing conflagration

Does anybody working there remember the Sixties  Sixty-eight  Watts  And untold other cities that were forced to play with fire  Burn Baby Burn


brightly  the cops asked if he was making a threat


No  he said  I remember is all




So what was with Jesus
a quick knock and adios

inside the folded pamphlet he read he was warmly invited to listen to a Bible discourse
JESUS CHRIST, WORLD CONQUEROR
                                                               World Conqueror
some kind of suspenders to hold up dem pants


so again  why didnt He go down the street to where his Johnny Reb Ridiculous lived
the truck was there  on the street
the flag twisting lazily

                                    like his disturbed guts



he really didnt know what to make of that


maybe Christ was apolitical

He wasnt white
Aramaic and Galilee wasnt ever white
apparently in America he wore whiteface

thats who was staring him in the face beatifically when he opened the pamphlet
which made perfect business sense


he really didnt know what to make of that


Jesus harassing him

Ignorance harassing him


Harrassing(when he wanted to harass back) 
                                                                         aint conquering


then returning home he slipped the pamphlet into the recycle bin where it might eventually prove to be a good thing
