Jesus The Sequel

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 Part II

What would you do?

How to handle this upgrade?

I'm not sureĀ 
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 still a required necessity
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
given the all the modern day temptationsĀ 

Verification of your true divinity
would be no problem in our tech age
given all us pilgrims have cameras
to post messiah miracles daily

Social media would explode

You'd surely be trending perpetually

All the gossip rags
wouldĀ be working round the clock
dredging up all your buried skeletons
that occurred before your heavenly promotionĀ Ā 

Doubters would be foreverĀ 
looking for he hidden wires
determined to prove you a fraud and liar

Not to mention
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 ?

Hello Steve...

I think a lot of them are leaving it to the professionals...

Some claim God but, Monkey see Monkey do...

God's ways are certainly not theirs...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...
