IF I WERE A CHRISTIAN

Just as Christ came

Easing His way through hearts

Summoning hurdles to lie

Unleashing anger on sins, I would

Summon my conscience to light

II

If I were a Christian,

Saving me and all would be a priority

III

Tearing beings

Hesitating in helping

Ecstatically jubilating than saving, will be nil

IV

Soaring on righteousness

Opening roads to hopefulness,

No back biting the saints, will be my badge

V

Of course I would thank God

For every breath I last like the loyal cockerel

VI

Given the chance for billions,

On a platter of ease,

Dungeons of lions will not make me kowtow to sin

VII

If I were a Christian

I’ll know God is the ultimate

And know the similarities between

Christians and Muslims

And call on Jesus and Mohammed to sit

To strike out their differences

To clear up their misunderstandings

Leading to misinterpretations

So the world will be a better place for all
