If Jesus Lived Today... Poem by Eric Ekinde

If Jesus Lived Today...



If Jesus lived today
he would have hated being born in a manger
for he too would have loved being called a manager,
he would have denied dying so cheap
for he too would have loved to drive a hummer jeep.

If Jesus lived today
he wouldn't stop business in the church house
for with its profits, he would built a luxurious house and own a petty mouse
he wouldn't have loved entering Jerusalem on a donkey
but in a jet that cost so much money.
If Jesus lived today
He wouldn't have loved being Christ, Gods knight
for he too would loved a woman in his bed at night
he wouldnt have loved being the only son to Mary
for would have wanted a sister for whom he too could collect dowry

If Jesus lived today
he wouldn't have loved being arrested
for he too would have had an army which is undefeated
he too would have loved being a conqueror
create his own empire and become the richest emperor.

If Jesus lived today
he too would have loved to be a father
than sending or admiring the children of another
he too would have loved having a car
to ride on late ride, stone, mud and tar.

Really, if Jesus lived today
he wouldn't have accepted for man to die so cheep
for haven seen AMERICA and all that is cheap
he would have loved to live in honor like George Bush
he would have loved to own all oil, gold, mines and some banana bush.

This poem rather negates the whole purpose for which Jesus was born to this world and his whole life's message.

Thinking a little more on this I have a feeling that you do not know who Jesus is. If you did know him, you would never have made such outrageous statements.

I don't think so, Jesus being God would do it all the same, simply because he loves his children. He is not a selfish God as you portray him. After all all he said if you would follow me go out and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. Think about it.
