lumped in with the others


Lumped in with the others
stained by their words, their actions
regretting the name, “Christian”,
the name that I love.
Aching for the travesty,
their ways of injustice
bastardizing the holy name
the name of the living Christ.
Wanting to scream, “STOP!”,
this is not the way of Jesus
the way of grace, of mercy,
the way of the cross.
The name I love become a curse
through the actions of others,
even through my own failings;
Oh how there must be tears in heaven
when the word, “Christian”, is spoken in anger
