PREWARNIG (im a little nervous about posting this, so um, dont take this too seriously. 🙂 ok cheers)
I’m a bit of a hypocrite
That’s what I’d say if I was honest
(Here’s one way: hold on to your seats.)
I claim to be a follower of Jesus
And that Jesus is found in the incoming of the other
The refugee calling for relief from oppression
The homeless individual begging to be heard
But… I’m full of crap
When the oppressed come to me
Majority of the time, I push them aside
Then try to forget them
I deny Christ
Then put myself into hell
The hell of my selfhate
Then shun all, to save their souls, of course
But, I’d rather stay here
It’s easier then listening to another’s pain
It’s easier then opening up to the possible realization of my deep pain
And you know what’s the worst of all?
I’m saying all this, to show you what an amazingly humble person I am
I’m saying all this because I care about the hurting
I just want their pain hidden, out of my sight
(Please note: not all terms refer to literal notions)
Love and peace, and disruption
