Jesus the Sequel

What if...

one day

in the history of your life

the skies parted

and the Lord poked

his omnipresent head through

the clouds and proclaimed

for all the scared sheep to know

that YOU were the chosen one

to lead us sinners out of here

What would you do?

How to handle this upgrade?

I'm not sure 

of the exact job description

but MESSIAH as a title

surely has a lot of perks

Comps wherever you go

Preferred parking
for your white limo

I wonder if celibacy
is a required condition
like it was
with the first edition dude
who got nailed to a cross centuries ago?

One would think this time around
such hardship restrictions would be lifted

and verification of your true divinity
would be no problem in our tech age

Social media would explode

You'd be trending big time

All the gossip rags would
be working round the clock
dredging up all your buried skeletons
that occurred before your heavenly promotion  

Doubters would be forever 
looking for the hidden wires
along with incurring the skeptical wrath
of conspiracy theorists
who are eternally belief challenged

So would you accept
this complicated savior position
or stay the course
on your current civilian path?

and leave the saving of souls
to the professionals
