Three Legged Gods

If they say, "He's over here!"
Or "Look!  He's over there!"
Don't believe it... even if 
An angel should announce
That he's is in the east or west.
Jesus has come and gone
And will come again very soon.
The sky will roll back like a scroll;
A trumpet and arch angel's voice
Will sound; then, the reapers
Will gather the chosen few,
Those who will soon disappear.
But other Jesus' have risen today.
They declare themselves God
And lead their sects for sex
Or other pleasure and power.
They have blasphemed Christ
And failed at wilderness temptations.
They isolate their followers in camps
And lead some to premature death.
They receive the Almighty's worship;
Yet, everyone has freedom of speech.
However, no one has the right to identity theft.
