W.W.Y.D.

W.W.Y.D.

 

I have a question.

I’ll be plain because

If today is (the day)…

I want to know.

 

I’m not ready to go

But I’ll ask anyway.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO…

…if Jesus came back …

…but forgot who he was?

 

Just a question.

Don’t look at me crazy

…I’m drunk.

 

If you saw him

how would you know?

 

Maybe he’s on Myspace…

Trying to find some disciples…

…or make some friends.

 

He might work the night shift

At the Git n Go

 

or maybe he’s the president.

 

Point is…you don’t know.

So…

WHAT WOULD YOU DO…

    If Jesus came back…

But forgot who he was?

 

Is he…

Sitting on a bustop

Listening to his iPod.

Hearing some girl sing

What if God Was One of Us?

Now …that’s ironic.

 

Or…

Is he puffing on chronic?

OH NO!

Don’t get mad.

He’s one of us now.

 The Son of Man

still trying to fit in.

plus…

 

It’s hard to rep the kingdom…

if you ain’t on the thrown.

…or just forgot who you are.

 

Is he homeless

living in a shelter?

Is he a shade tree mechanic

fixing your muffler?

 

Is he …in the wrong neighborhood

trying to live right?

Wearing his bracelet that says

   “WHAT WOULD HE DO”?

 

Now wait

   Just listen

Before you scream sacralige.

Just think about it.

      Does he know who he is?

 

He got disciple knowledge

         And no followers.

He’s not starving

      but still can’t break bread.

 

I digress.

 

Would you

   ask him to

     bless your army

    before you bomb

  his family?

Just a question.

 

Let’s back track.

 

Would you thank him for your family

And…

Thank him cause you hung another spook

From another tree

and then took his picture?

 

I gotta know!

 

Would you

   rob him

Pick his pockets clean

thinking his daddy

got money

even though he dresses bummy

 

Then gamble it away

but you ask him

to bless that roll

on the hard eight?

 

Really I need to know.

 

WHAT WOULD YOU DO

If Jesus came back

but forgot who he is?

just something to think about.

[Celtic Cat]

That could explain why the world is gone to s**t. I think you're on to something. Scary.

[Caitbabie008]

This was a good write! I know I liked it! :D

[James K. Blaylock]

I really enjoyed this piece. And yes, this truly would be a huge debacle! But over time I think he'd remember his purpose...

[Tenten]

mou, you picked up my flow, but yes i've thought of it. good piece, very good piece and honest. 'Corpus Christi' never heard of it, its a play look it up, amazing story with a twist.

[Tee-o]

Some seriously, deep thoughts.
My Favorite is:

Would you
ask him to
bless your army
before you bomb
his family?
,,,,just a question.
Lets back track.

Great Write~

[Robert Luna]

I could totally see this as a song. It flowed perfect like a lyric masterpiece. Now that was some great writing there.

[OceanK.]

I love this poem, sorry it took this long to tell you that!

[Mr. Deft Diction]

This is actually the best way I've seen this subject approached. Maybe because I also believe that if everything is real, even the Most High can be looked at OUTSIDE of what we know [him] to be.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT WRITE!!

[Poetic Sinner]

i'll move him in as my roomate and have wine and bread for days....then i'll ask how he feels about crosses just to see if its to soon to joke about it or not...you know test the water before he walks on it.
great stuff it flowed smoothly and i was so cought up on it that i thought it ended to soon...great stuff.

[Kara Emily Krantz]

what an interesting last line - this poem was quite meandering, but it did make me think. you tackled some great concepts here. what if he forgot who he is? how interesting is that...

"Just a question.
Don't look at me crazy.
,,,,,i'm drunk. "

this made me half-chuckle.

nice job with this
