Do Not Talk About Jesus

Do not talk about Jesus When you are a racist Do not talk about religion When you believe in execution Of people who are innocent Do not say that you're born again When you're abusing or making fun Of the poor, the weak and the indigents The world is nothing but many huge tents Why cannot we get along? Why cannot we sing the same song? Why cannot we read the same words of God? Why do we have to use crimes and frauds To mess up one another? Why? Why? Why? Why do the rich get richer, die and leave Billions to rot and to spoil? Why do the poor get poorer, die and leave Nothing for their children to boil? Can you dig it? Do you get the message? You don't to be a philosopher or a sage To fully comprehend what I am saying Jesus' name has a real divine meaning Stop lying, sinning and blaspheming If the lives of people who don't resemble you Do not matter. Don't talk to us. Go turn blue Nobody wants your diluted or contracted Bible Put one with all the pages and chapters on the table We want to read the Old and the New Testament We want to see "free our people" who are innocent If you don't want to criticize racism and slavery Don't talk to us. Enough with this stupid hypocrisy But talk to us if you're against supremacy, inequality Racism, hate, discrimination, separation, and bigotry Talk more; say more to us if you are for opportunity For all, love, compassion, togetherness and decency Jesus was for love, helping each other, oneness, and unity.
