Modern Day Religion

Would Jesus forgive our sins,

If he held a cellphone in his hands today?

Would he swipe away on Insta

And like every Mary Magdalene along his way?

Or would he be like every other sinner

He chose to save,

And pull out his phone and start recording

His reflective crucifixion?

How can we love our neighbors

When their death gets us the most views

Most sell their souls online

Hopping in line, waiting in queues.

If belief is word of mouth

then why are there temples of gold

Followers of God

The quickest to be sold

Is a crown of thorns

heavier than your phone?

Or does it weigh more than

The forgotten books of old

A book of beliefs

rewritten a thousand times,

would the souls taken

by these words

be saved by something so divine.

Let us pray,

Amen.
