Jesus Christ

JESUS CHRIST

You say you don’t
Believe
But you most certainly do
Know his name
You form the curse
With your own round lips
Never batting
An eye
And you mock and smirk
Knowing each word’s
Fork-tongued crude
Never wondering why
No other name 
Holds the same
Giggle for you
Perhaps it is true?

Dean Wood May 23, 2017 at 12:59 PM A good point Kim! Why bother to take His name in vain if it doesn't matter? Kim Rodrigues May 23, 2017 at 1:29 PM You hear no other leader's name constantly uttered as a curse name. Thanks, Dean!
