Where is Jesus

 Where is Jesus

 

 

I have lived long.  I have cried.

I have been alone forever.  I have lied.

No confession or reason why,

But where is Jesus and where am I?

 

Clouds form greasy in the south.

I should get my ass inside and shut my mouth.

Rain is coming.  See the sky?

Where is Jesus and where am I?

 

I’d tell you I am lonely but that doesn’t get me love,

And pity doesn’t do it anymore

Just a bit of mercy for the things I’m guilty of,

A taste of love before I find the door.

 

I see trouble on the rise.

Its shadow is familiar to my eyes.

I lay low when I get high.

Where is Jesus and where am I?

 

I need something I cannot see.

There is a hollowness that pokes inside of me.

Not to be rude.  Don’t mean to pry.

But where is Jesus and where am I?

Blessed Are

  Blessed Are                ©2025JackDeremiah                                Celia struts the streets in giant hats and sparkled shoes Tommy’s worn the same toupee since nineteen ninety-two Donnie knows the Earth is flat and promises he’s right Blessed are the comfortable, for they have won the fight   Bobby mumbles poetry that won’t be understood Jane can see the future; it just does her no good Jimmy thinks his cape makes him invisible at night Blessed are the unseen, for they are given sight   C Don’t lend a hand to a normal man, he don’t need a thing Befriend the different, seek the odd, and the vision that they bring Each human is a work of art; there is no wrong or right Blessed are the cracked, for they let in the light   Sean says he talked to God, an...
