Christian Poseurs

Some politicians hide behind Jesus
and use his words to justify actions
that contradict his teachings.
They profess to value human life
yet vote to deny food to children.
They speak of love for fellow man
then send young soldiers to kill
innocent civilians in other lands.
They espouse equality
even as they support tax laws
that promote inequality.
Whether elephant or donkey,
these Christian politicians
are still asses in Jesus’ clothing.
