Jesus Said Oh Really Poem by Sarah Mkhonza

Jesus knows he said love your enemies
But the earth says, love them hard and
Not sue them when they publish your
Work without your copyright.

He who said turn the other cheek
Knows you have other cheeks too.
Earth says let them slap those too.

Why do you think we slave till we retire?
Can't you see the Lord put us in this fix?
To work. work, work, till earth and the
Ants laugh for we have become
Complaining copy cats. Instead of
Copying the chameleon and his fast
Tongue and slow stagger, we failed to
Change color and be boss one day,
Master another and never a worker. All
It takes is having no hands. Would
Jesus have said when they want both
Of your hands and legs at work,
Chop off one, for it is better to live
With one leg and one hand than to enter into
Heaven dead tired with both?
