Kelly Hitchcock Poet Rhyme

Christ Like

Christ Like

Christian?
Hmmm – let’s see
Professing virtue
Condescendingly

We start with a claim
We separate in to groups
Denominations – Thirty five hundred
How convenient – no need for any proof 

The Christ we say we follow
Embodies the word 
He lives out what he teaches
Actions are what need to be heard

We just say “We’re all sinners”
Sick - decrepit souls
We’ll never live up
To the greatest story that’s been told

Dissonance - suffering
Apathetic and broke
We’ll just point out others beliefs
Judge them and make jokes

Christian?
I prefer Follower of Christ
By following his word
It makes life feel so right

No judgment
No fear
No shame
No hidden agenda to trade my soul for fame

Perhaps we are sinners
Because of biological drives
Acceptance – awareness - beauty
Salvation – you come alive 

If you become what you say
Your actions will speak the truth
Be Christ like
Like the Bible says - You will know them by their fruits
