Who would Jesus bomb:

As a young soldier in 1962.

Wheeler's Corner 37 4th September 2018

"Connecting people to people who care"

I was sent this poem: And I thought I should share it with you... Part two is the result of a poll conducted by a Councillor: 548 citizens responded, and the results give a clear and precise indicator of how the council should react...

1. “WWJB?” {who would Jesus Bomb] A question worth asking.

When we are in awe of the power-broker

By default we passively take their side

Our concepts of justice are small and mediocre

We're complicit in oppressing the power-denied

Many New Zealanders live with mental anguish

They need peace to help them experience calm

Still, there are others who are left to languish

So I pose the question “Who would Jesus bomb?”

Those who weep now will one day be able to laugh

Blessed are those who hunger for they shall be filled

Comforted by the Good Shepherd's rod and staff

Until then they grieve for those who've been killed

The Defence Industry are given pats on the back

“We want our military to be powerful and strong”

When you are actually just paranoid of attack

I need to ask you “Who would Jesus bomb?”

Blessed are those who are meek

For they will indeed inherit the earth

How can you 'see' but refuse to 'speak'?

Just how much is your soul worth?

Woe to the hypocrites who twist

What is right and what is wrong

I don't think He is at all impressed

So tell me “Who would Jesus bomb?”

God can raise a generation from dry bones

For He is just and will exalt the lowly

Tearing down the mighty from their thrones

For this is what it means to be holy

Woe to those who store wealth, greedy for more

These are the shocking words of His Mum

Blessed are the minimum waged and the poor

Consider carefully “Who would Jesus bomb?”

Woe to these manufacturers who get rich

Who have bribed that DIA liar Andrew Ford

Whose products leave dead bodies in the ditch

You'll reap what you sow and die by the sword

Is our Palmy City Council even still relevant?

Or only a dead corpse we'll have to embalm?

How can ignorance remain so prevalent?

I ask you this “Who would Jesus bomb?”

Government spending money on ammunition

Coughing up for four submarine killers

Spinning lies like a professional politician

Coffin up! Weapons traders are blood spillers

We will stand and shout with all our might

Against your trade deals with Uncle Tom

So on behalf of children and refugees in flight

Auntie Pam yells “Who would Jesus bomb?”
