Why would I want to be a “Christian” – v2


Our name an epithet, a curse spit,
an indictment, an affidavit
sworn out against us
hurled at our feet.

The name “Christian”,
which we cherish, desire,
has been stolen by others, hypocrites,
who don’t follow the way of the Christ.

Why would I want to a “Christian”,
to be lumped in with these others
to be gathered in, to be seen with them,
when our name “Christian” has become a curse?
