The Son....Of God...Was....In Fact....Brown Poem by James B. Earley

The Son....Of God...Was....In Fact....Brown



Occasionally I write a bit of poetry
Now and again...raise...a little hell
Such as of Conservative Christianity
Incredible the falsehoods it sells

Take...Jesus Christ...for instance
....The Evangelical's Patron Saint
Humanity's insanity 'tis Hannity
....White is the image...they paint

Disingenuous that concept of Jesus
Consistently portrayed as all-White
Grossly misrepresenting His ethnicity
...You know...and I know..that ain't right

Pathological......liars.....still lying
Passing propaganda around
....Hypocrites...literally...won't admit
The Son....of God...was....in fact....Brown

Maybe these folks ain't Christians but atheists
....That would be unfair to the atheists....I know
For they....all seem to think of bigotry..as being
.....Indeed.....the lowest...of the low

Such...is the state....of America
....Incredible the bullshit it sells
Occasionally I write a bit of poetry
....And in so doing...I raise a little hell

James, lite verse, serious subject. I like the Hannity insanity' rhyme. Not sure all those Dickinson-like ellipses work though. I try to escape writing satire, but it's tough. if you have time, check out my new website: jeffersoncarterverse.com Tell me how you like it. Thanks. Yrs, JC
