Culture

His chest is against my back,
a contemporary Christ.
A supernatural man laughing at dirty jokes, making old maids blush.
A king whose kingdom is in the clouds,
but also with improper thought.
A Jesus who understands culture and shock value.
He would vote for the legalization of marijuana and the illegality of abortion.
A lamb who has a slashed throat like all the crime shows.
A lion who is featured on all the National Geographic specials.
A God who wasted his religiosity and orthodoxy at our feet.
A God who took up skinny ties and skinny jeans
for another soul to be saved.

Her

 Church is loud and hidden. Full of praise, unprecedented resilience. She bites an apple, then walks into an eternal city. She rests on Sabbath, then battles ignorance. Strong and faulted, given grace and Jerusalem walls. She hides her beauty while Jesus peers significant.

Unstable

 The clouds are unstable So too are the waves But my faith is stable, solid. Rally and debate is unstable. Fire and Water too. But, God hold us safe.

Reach

 I both reach and retreat. I want you and want nothing to do with you. It is predictable that I both hate and love you. I want you near and must retreat. Like a civil war and trip to Disney Land. You are my contradiction Both push and pull. America, I pledge allegiance and protest you for being immoral.
