A Proclaimed Christian Poem by Randy McClave

A proclaimed Christian was walking in the park the other day
When suddenly, "HELP! ", someone did scream and say,
The screams were coming from a nearby lake
Since he was a proclaimed Christian the voice he could not forsake.
"Help! ", "Help! " the voice kept on screaming and also crying
As if that person was suffering or even maybe even dying,
It was late at night so, the proclaimed Christian couldn't see
As the voice kept on splashing and crying, "Please, Please, Save Me! ".
The proclaimed Christian ran to were the voice was coming from
The voice kept on crying for his savior to come,
Now the proclaimed Christian knew what they had to do
With beliefs and morality that person must be saved before they're through.
In the middle of the lake the Christian saw a body splashing back and forth
As if they were heading confused both south and north,
While the good proclaimed Christian was removing their shoes
They starting shouting out questions, for the drowning person to choose.
The good Christian first yelled at the drowning person, "are you gay! "
The response was, "Help", "Help" was the cries the drowning person did say,
Then the Christian again screamed, "are you on drugs", "to others have you lied"
Again the response was, "Help", "Help" was all that was cried.
Then the Christian screamed, "are you a Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or Jewish
Are you greedy, uncaring or an atheist or over shrewish,
Are you an illegal immigrant the proclaimed Christian then did shout
"Please, Please Save Me! ", the voice again did scream out.
The voice then began to fade as into the lake the Christian cautiously walked in
Then the Christian screamed what is your race and the color of your skin,
But, " HELP! , HELP! ", could no longer be heard or found
The person needing a savior, had suffered and then had drowned.
