Modern Jesus

[dave holloway]

I visualize Jesus
in the world today,
a great PR man
losing his way
to all the complexities
befalling every man,
forfeiting purpose,
never taking a stand
as the 2nd coming
remains just a myth,
ignoring the promise,
allowing us to drift
between what’s right
and so, so wrong,
eyes looking upward,
ears hearing the song
of another siren
in the distant night,
another scene unfolds,
another horrific sight
and he at a computer
deciding work or play,
this time he thinks,
I’ll do it their way,,,
