Do you think Jesus was a cop?
Strolled in sandaled feet to knock on the doors of Bethlehem
A house search with a holy warrant
A finding of sins that ends in a torrent of condemnation
Earthly adjudication and the disciples defending your murder in the town square

Conservatives seem to think cops aren't supposed to care
Hell they seem to think nobody is supposed to care
They carry around the scared worry
God is going to lock them up at the end of life
So they stock wrath up and feed the giant
Play jailor in a huge act of suck up
Turning holy life into living hell
They sell batons in one hand and bible thump in the other
Will beat you to death with either
Justify both
These require an eyes for eye
Never-mind the turn the other cheek part
They take to heart every mention of fire
Take to the street to protest cops fired for shots fired
As if Jesus himself was not killed by the cops
For challenging the state
A revolutionary on a rampage turning over the money plates
And healing on Sundays
When they told him to stop he just kept moving
They had to take this new king down a notch
There's just something about having to watch
A black king walk with his head high
A powerful truth and pride stitched in his side
That upsets a roman
IXII must call 911 because the son doesn't live here
And he's got to be up to no good
It's no hood but that robe is dirty
And he attracts beggars and prostitutes
Gentiles and the destitute
No never mind the Jesus on the cross
Let's have more of Jesus the cop

The story of the good Samaritan
Would have been totally prevented with a larger sentry budget
Actually I'm sure every sunset
Jesus would sit and watch the road to Jericho
Jump out to give speeding tickets and slow down traffic
A light not hid under a bucket
But glaring in the rear view mirror
And roving about looking for bandits
Cursing and killing to uphold those ten commandments
Sure he understands there are reasons for super predators
But that's an altogether separate issue from keeping folks safe
And justice doesn't much exist on earth
So it's worth considering shooting them all and letting God sort them out
Because the son of God does not give a shit about a reasonable doubt
Agrees with Blue Lives Matter and would replace pretty much the entire state of California
He has a malinformed ma who drives him to Kenosha
Has Guile with ten mouse hive mind
Has Kyle Rittenhouse alive inside
And on the poster in his bedroom
After all Jesus did come to fulfill the law

I wonder what happens when they find out Jesus wasn't a cop
That he did not hop on his donkey to patrol the streets of Jerusalem
Wasn't choosy when it came to criminals
As a matter of fact his last conversation on earth was with a thief
Which in their belief
Must not be as bad as selling cigarettes
Or resisting arrest
Talking back and ending up dead in a cell
Or driving a car
Having fun in a park
Or lying asleep in your dark house
Do you see now
How these things must be worse
How the lord of forgiveness
Birthed in a barn
Would surely curse the names we ring in the streets
Would have stood by the cop who killed Botham Jean
Cop Jesus would be silent
Keen not to cross that thin blue line behind him
And can I just say how easy it was to find
The name of some dead black life to rhyme with
Atatiana Jefferson
Dead and gunned down at home with her kid
Manuel Ellis
The annual popped quiz killed saying I can't breath with an officer beating him
They all think beating works
Those batons and bibles thumping
The jumping to conclusions
And dumping bruised bodies into hell or jail cells
They think they are cleansing something
Have the impression they are here to crusade
To invade people's homes
To snap and break people's bones into lovable shapes
As if the holiness of humanity were up for debate
As if we were not lovingly made
Mistakes included

This is probably going to be hard to hear
But life is not a video game
Or a storybook
With a convenient cast of characters to blame
With a free righteousness pass that lets you off the compassion hook
The bible is not about a holy war between good and evil
Not some Steven Spielberg sequel between God and demons
With all the good people driving church steeples through deviant's chests
Despite what QANON says this isn't star wars
Guest starring Joel Olstein sporting twin swords
Defending us against the coming darkness
Tearing sinful hearts apart on a glorious battlefield
I feel the need to say this
Because you have made the street a furious minefield
Where sinners are black boys thrown onto windshields
And the shield and badge is holy armor
We are not the bad guys
And Jesus is not a cop
Had a ministry of healing and teaching
The EXACT message abolish the police is preaching
That our broken world needs help
Not compliance
That the finest laws are mindless without spirit
And you people who won't hear it
You are the same pharisees who feared him
Who called the cops on a black man praying in a garden
Because his grace put your hardened hearts on trial

It was Easter the other day
And Jesus, after being killed by the cops
Broke out of his tomb
Rolled back the door to his cell
Conquered death and hell
Abolished condemnation
Fulfilled the law
Defunded the devil
And forgave
And gave mercy
And loved
And forgave
And forgave
And forgave
You should Try it
