Guest Post: I Think Jesus Would Be Angry

by Cassidy Steele-Stewart

I think Jesus would be angry

I think Jesus would be angry
or saddened
or both
if he watched the news right now

I think Jesus would be angry
like he was in the temple
when he drove out the rich
to make room for the poor

I think Jesus would be saddened
like he was at the leaders
who said laws
were more important
than love

I think Jesus would be angry
as he said
suffer the children
not
let children suffer (in cages)

I think Jesus would be saddened
to know that
do unto others
has turned to
hit first and hit hard

I think Jesus would be angry
or saddened
or both
if he watched the news right now
