Don't Worry, We Are Christians

I talked about you today.

In my conversation with

A friend, the topic of you

Had no end.

We pondered your choices,

We pondered your pain,

We shook our heads knowingly

At what we do not know.

Don’t worry, we are Christians.

It’s okay to discuss and dissect

Our brothers and sisters,

Like cadavers on a slab.

We make better choices for you

When you are not there.

We know the path

You should tread.

Don’t worry, we are Christians.

We agreed you need prayer,

Though we did not pray

For you today.

In our mock humility

We spoke of how the world,

And you, would be better,

If only…

Don’t worry, we are Christians.

We only spoke in love

And Christian clichés as

We ‘fixed’ you in our talks.

We also pondered why

Churches are divided.

It doesn’t make any sense.

Why can’t we get along?

Don’t worry, we are Christians.

As our talks moved

From you to the church

We shook our heads knowingly…

Don’t worry, we are Christians.
