A young man steps into the public square,
Filled with hate, betrayal and anger.
He takes his rifle, pulls the trigger and
With cold hearted precision,
Kills again, again, and again.
The last bullet, plunges fatally into his brain.
Just one Jesus between his end and mine.
A young woman shivers from a chilling cold,
That sears her to the very soul.
Her body contorts from addictive tremors
As she exchanges her baby’s food and toys,
For coins to buy just one more hit,
To escape her pains and abuse for a while.
Just one Jesus separates her life from mine.
He crawls out of his bed, in the dead of night,
And prowls the streets for an accomplice.
A young girl, seduced with a promise of reward
Draws him to her bosom, and leads him into the darkness.
When the passion subsides, emptiness engulfs,
Amplified by agonizing guilt and shame.
Just one Jesus makes my story different.
Just one Jesus, keeps me from murder;
Just one Jesus separates me from addiction;
Just one Jesus prevents my immorality.
Just one Jesus!
Don’t you want to know my Jesus?
He’ll give you peace beyond all understanding;
And change your life forever!

Thanks ZIZI for a testimony to the difference JESUS can make in our lives ! Jesus said I am THE WAY (not just one of severally equally good ways) ~ I am THE TRUTH (not jus a facet of the truth) ~ I m THE LIFE (the only source of Spiritual Life !) Jesus said NO MAN ~ NO WOMAN ~ NO CHILD has access to God except by me and the Salvation I purchased for the whole Human Race by my atoning death on the CROSS ~ Only JESUS could do this ! All other Religions are false JESUS alone can SAVE ~ SECURE & SATISFY ~ AMEN ! Please check my Poem on Trees ~ thanks ~ BRIAN (UK)
Thank you so much for your message Brian. Only Jesus can have paid the full price for our sins, He alone conquered death to assure us of eternal life and He alone can give the Holy Spirit to strengthen us in our daily lives.
Jesus came to reveal to us how we may activate our “fullness”; to live according to our highest potential and worth. Thanks for writing a poem that reminds readers what it is that is missing in their lives. The evil that you write about is evident and palpable. Thank God as a believer - we already know the outcome; even if a bullet fired by another would take me down this evening. Peace and blessings my friend.
Thank you for your response Gary.
Kind regards.
