swansong

oddly enough,
the most substantial thing
that i witnessed on television
(or, rather, streamed online a day after
the show aired), this week
involved a group of lunchtime comrades
called "the god squad"
that met to constructively show god's love
to their peers.

i'm not sure how god would feel
to know that he has a squad.

in this case, the group collectively determined
that they could offer to sell song-a-grams
from one valentine to another,
to raise money for a fundraiser-
and to spread christian awareness-
two birds, one stone, right?

the god squad was poised with a decision:
one lesbian schoolmate wanted to deliver
a song-a-gram to her girlfriend.

what a dilemma!

well, what would jesus do?
the jesus that i've seen would typically
call her out on her sin,
tell her that she was going to hell,
cut off all further comminication,
and ostracize her from all future events.

the jesus that i've read about
would pick up a microphone,
and serenade her with the sweetest song
that she's ever heard.

why can't i seem to find more of that
jesus around me?
