There's No Jesus in That

Barb wire fences
National Guard menacing the immigrants 
There's no Jesus in that
Using spikes and boulders to keep the homeless out 
Arresting them and stealing the few belongings they have 
There's no Jesus in that
Fining citizens for feeding 
those in need 
There's no Jesus in that 
Abortion bans that steal the freedoms and lives of mothers 
Ensuring there are more orphans for you to disregard 
There's no Jesus in that 
Funding wars and genocide 
Instead of creating peace 
There's no Jesus in that 
Denying access to health care 
Making life more difficult for those in need 
There's no Jesus in that 
Making a mockery 
of people who live with mental illness or disabilities 
There's no Jesus in that 
Supporting slavery and segregation 
Abusing those who are not just like you 
There's no Jesus in that
Worshipping guns, you reject love 
As more children are murdered in their schools 
from yet another active shooter
There's no Jesus in that
You claim to be "Christians"
but your choices are nothing like Christ
You think you can do as you please 
because "the blood of Christ redeems"
Yes, Jesus forgives, but we are called to be holy 
You choose violence and hate 
You disregard the life of your neighbor 
and take the name of the Lord God in vain 
There's no Jesus in that
