If Jesus was a poet today… Poetri

If Jesus was a poet today…

Jesus was a poet back in the day,
But what if Jesus was a poet today?
What if he bum rushed open mics begging to get on the list?
How fly would his poems be?

He’d have to have a stage name.
Cause for some people Jesus just ain’t good enough.
Something like JC or J-Dub, J-Dawg or J-Unit!!
Wow, if J-Fizzle the thug gospel poet was on stage today,
how many would turn away, leave the night still not impressed?
Still not seeing the light cause they were concentrating on the bad honey
In the short dress, she did look good, though, even got her number that night.
Yea, that guy JC he read…but his poem was just alright.

I mean, I don’t even know how I would introduce the man.
I mean, seriously I wouldn’t want to mess up introducing Jehovah.
Um, ladies and gentleman…um…we have a very, very, very, very
special guest in the house tonight.
He has done so much; I don’t know where to begin.
But, for starters his Father…GOD…invented the world.
He gave his only Begotten son,
and now J- Diggity, the OG member of G-O-D squad
is everywhere.
All you have to do is call.
Matter of fact, He was probably in your bedroom last night,
whispering poems in your ear making sure that you slept alright.
He’s actually here all the time trying to talk to us, sitting right next to us.
However we are too busy and really don’t take the time to hear him.
But. , today not only did he sign the list, but he is gonna be our feature for the night.
Right now he currently is on the Eternity tour touring around the world
saving souls and writing miracles.
He is in New Orleans right now as well on this very stage,
hailing from the Planet of Heaven,
Then someone in the audience yells out “HEAVEEEN!”
Like they are from there or plan to move there.

Please put your hands together for the Prophet, The Son of God,
The HNIC, Head Noble Inspirational Christ, The Holy Master,
The Truth, My good friend and Savior, Mr. Jeeeesssssuuuuuus Christ!

That’s when the crowd would go wild.
And no one would care if he was black or white,
there would be a celebrity in the house,
Whether they believe or not wouldn’t matter,
you know how fake people get. Jesus is famous.
And he was in the flesh right on stage ready to feature at Da’ Poetry Lounge!
Man, Da’ Poetry Lounge be getting the hottest poets!

Someone in the crowd would yell, “Do something from scripture!”
To which Jesus would reply, “Nah, I’m doing some new stuff.
Plus ya’ll already heard that before, you didn’t listen then,
what makes you think you are gonna listen now?
We would hear some ooohs and ahhhs…
then a silence would fall on the audience.

What if Jesus was a poet today?
And instead of selling CD’s, He was slanging Gospel.
He was doing group pieces with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost,
having folks in the audience getting high.
Slamming but three judges only gave him a nine,
talking about he wasn’t hyped enough.

What If I told you Jesus was on this stage tonight?
And that this wasn’t a hypothetical or some metaphorical imagery.
He dropped some knowledge that went past almost all the heads.

What if I told you the devil was here, too?
He did about five pieces, got a standing ovation on two of them!
Got all tens from the judges…and went outside and sold about a million
CDs/DVD’s from his hit show BET UNCUT!
Yea, they both were in the house tonight…
Which one did you see?
THE END - POETRI
