Salvation Poem by Eric Cockrell

Salvation

Rating: 5.0


how many Jesus's does it take?
rock n roll Jesus, civil rights Jesus,
sexual Jesus, Baptist Jesus,
Pentecostal snake Jesus...
heroin Jesus, small town family Jesus,
necklace Jesus, tattoo Jesus,
illegal immigrant Jesus...

Jesus on the cross in a drunk tank Jesus,
Marlboro Jesus, county fair Jesus,
pray for Armagadden Jesus...

or just a man,
living one day, one moment,
one bare naked dirty human need
at a time...

with open hands, open heart,

and open mind!

A name, A image, A power, Unbeknownst to a simple man like me. A idol, A leader, A teacher, Unbeknownst to a simple man like me With no faith comes no love. In the shadows I live Only god can forgive For everything that I was In your name The Lord, Jesus Christ. This is what came to me from what you wrote in your poem. I'm not religious, so I'm sure if i should even write such things. I think I will call it the prayer. Thanks for your inspirational poem.
