Listen, Listen Poem by Randy McClave

Listen, listen
How can you call yourself a Christian,
When you curse someone else's fate
Seemingly all that you talk about is hate.
When forgiveness someone else does seek
You never turn the other cheek,
When anyone else has a different belief than you
Vulgarity and hated against them you spew.
You enjoy to swear and to cuss
You forgot to love others as Jesus loves us,
And to be kind and to be compassionate
Many times you decided you've done enough.
If they are immigrants from a different land
You want to spit upon their hand,
And if someone has tattoos you hate them as well
Everyone different than you, you say is destined for hell.
You won't help the needy or the poor
You helped them once, but you will help no more,
And you don't care if they are un-loved or un-fed
Your actions shows that you don't care if they are dead.
So, this unto you I will shout out and I will say
Then tonight for you I will also pray,
How can you call yourself a Christian
Listen, listen.
