    When YOU say, "I'm A Christian"

    When you say, "I'm A Christian"
    I began to question the way you live
    I wonder if you take more than you give
    Are you quick to forget and forgive?
    Or is it taboo for you...to be passive?

    When you say "I'm A Christian"
    I want to ask you what you seek
    Does it require you to be lowly and meek?
    To turn the other cheek?
    Or just attend church a day or two a week?

    When you say "I'm A Christian"
    I want to ask you what you mean
    Does it truly mean you are "Like Christ"
    Or just playin' up that scene
    Like so many here and there and in between

    When you say "I'm A Christian"
    Do you feed the hungry?
    Lead the blind?
    Visit the prisoners?
    Comfort the maligned?
    Care for the sick?
    Love the unkind?
    Do you cry out for peace
    Do you embrace mankind?
    Or are you inclined...to resign?
    To judge others and whine
    To harbor resentment
    To have an axe to grind
    To try to outshine, to opine
    And bind your brother's mind?

    When you say, "I'm A Christian"
    What have you just said?
    Have the sheep been fed?
    Have the sheep been fed?

    i absolutely agree with this poem. im not a christian, but i really notice how incrediby hipocritical they can be. for awhile ive really had something against christianity, but then i realized it wasnt the religion, it was all of the impostors who claim to speak for god and enjoy being prideful, condescending, and hipocritical. thank you for an enlightening poem.

    man, i have an aunt i would love to give that too. i have dealt with nothing but her christian judgements over the last couple years and well, my response to her always (in my head cause i dont care enough to uproot stuff) is you missed the entire christ message lady.

    I read this in the christian forum, but didn't comment on it. But this is pretty damn good.
