perspective

Late night street
walking with friends
car goes by
somebody sticks their head out the window and yells
"JESUS LOVES YOU!"
that's nice
at least somebody does
five minutes later
another car goes by in the opposite direction
and another head appears out the window and shouts
"GET OFF THE STREET!"
it's good to get a different perspective on things
and at least we were loved
for a little while

Uh yeah... I should point out that this poem has nothing to do with Jesus. It's about the extremes of being offered love one moment and then being rejected so soon after. Thanks for stopping by anyway.

That's funny, because your picture on the front page makes you look exactly like Jesus. Peace, man.

Yes! Penny, I'm glad you thought it was funny. And Davey D, Jesus? Gee, i was really going for more of a Kris Kristofferson look.

both intentional; both screams of honesty. and yet polar opposites. we get what we deserve... and in a world of gray, we decide which is which. ^_^

Perspective really matters. And I liked the simple way of expressing it.

Being told to get out of the street does not necessarily indicate rejection; perhaps they were looking out for you!
