Do Not Speak to Me of Christ

 Do Not Speak to Me of Christ

 

Do not speak to me of Christ if you will not feed a stranger.

Do not speak to me of Christ while watching others drown in debt.

 

Do not speak to me of Christ as children lie bleeding and politicians profit.

Do not speak to me of Christ as you jack another round into the chamber.

 

Do not speak to me of Christ as you claim control of another’s decisions.

Do not speak to me of Christ if you can claim rape is the will of God.

 

Do not speak to me of Christ if violent repression of anyone is your path.

Do not speak to me of Christ if hate is always your first thought.

 

Do not speak to me of Christ while you practice intolerance.

Do not speak to me of Christ as you spurn those that are other.

 

Do not speak to me of Christ while you glorify those unholy.

Do not speak to me of Christ as you idolize the unjust.

 

Do not speak to me of Christ if you are plotting vengeance.

Do not speak to me of Christ if you think spilling blood is an answer.

 

Do not speak to me of Christ unless your heart is open.

Do not speak to me of Christ until you can make some room for all.
