He’s news today;
he’s news everyday
and he loves it that way.
He needs the adulation
and so creates situations
to stir up the crowd
while protesters march proud,
which hardens the face
of his mostly white base.
What of his followers,
all those frantic hollerers
screaming “Lock her up”?
Do they know what’s up?
He fills their ravenous needs
with poison seeds
which will grow
in the thin soil of their soul.
“Hey, I thought Jesus
sent his angels
to all you evangelicals,
you with hollow hearts,
but you are entertaining devils unaware
and you’ve gone whoring
and cry angrily in fits and starts
but beware.
False, hollow gods offering
a hate-filled salvation
will hurry your self-imposed damnation.
So, brothers and sisters,
read Jesus’ words
and let justice be heard
from your love filled lives.
Be eternally alive
in that for which you strive
but can only come with grace
that offers the joy of
the inclusive embrace.
Remember the Sunday school song
and walk forth gratefully
with the heavenly throng:
Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world.
Red, yellow, brown, black and
white, they are precious in
his sight. Jesus loves the
little children of the world.
Can I hear an AMEN!”
