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
