Do Presidents Bow To Jesus?

Does any nation represent Christ today?

The “Land of the free, and home of the brave”
Is changing the world in front of our eyes
While nations await with bated breath
To see what effect it will have on their lives

Mr President, America, your land of dreams
Today you stand with flags unfurled
Seeking to impose your will
On a fragile and divided world

Are other nations any less
Than the America you have made
And are all others by implication
All cowardly and enslaved?

But, Presidents come and Generals go
And seek their own place in history
To ever be honoured, and never forgotten
Grasping at immortality

Just as my forefathers carved the world
And stole whole nations for their own use
Poor India, Palestine, and others
Enslaved under the British noose

So your forefathers then behaved
In stealing lands from native souls
California, Colorado, Texas, and others
That once belonged to Mexico

While Hamas and Isis murder and rape
Demanding in God's name, occupation cease
Though God and His son denounce such acts
And Jesus himself urged forgiveness and peace

And Israel – once blessed by God himself
To teach all the nations God's mercy true
Has forgotten God's holy commandments
And adopted terrorism too

While your friends in Israel seek
With fire, all Palestine to burn
And you sir, enable and support this
On the off-chance that the Messiah returns

And the Russian machine is ever moving
Destroying trust and liberty
In paranoid isolation
While crushing true Christianity

Yes, mankind's political games abound
And all nations take their turn in war
None can claim to be so righteous
And countries always have their poor

But, in our world where glory seekers
Strive to leave a legend behind
They often claim divine backing
That God and Jesus are on their side.

So, Mr President, take your spoils
From nations poorer than your United States
It's just the latest in history's injustice
And the raising of the global stakes

And, though British cowards ignore your crimes
And turn a blind eye to US heists
Stop your administration from claiming
That you are acting on behalf of Christ

For if you were truly Christian
And Jesus was your King and Lord
You would beat your guns into plows
And you would want to learn war no more

No, Mr President, Jesus is not with you
Because you rule with violent threat
While seizing wealth and people's freedoms
And using power as a savage pet

For Christ identified his people
As lovers of peace and God's kingdom pearl
Jesus said that his true disciples
Would be no part of man's broken world

Yet, your people deny earths demise
Of climate's increase by human design
But, Jesus warns us – in the Bible
That such an event would be a sign

That we would one day poison this planet
And yet, refuse to see the curse
That God will act, and bring to ruin
Those who ruin God's sweet earth

For, whether your America
Or Britain, Russia or Israel
Jesus has sworn to hold all nations
Responsible for this man-made Hell

For Christ does not stand for any nation
As the prophets swore with God-breathed pen
That God rejects man's wars and divisions
And to all man's governments will put an end

And so, dear America – our brethren
Observe Christ's sign and understand
That mankind cannot bring salvation
Only God's heavenly kingdom can

“My kingdom is no part of this world”

“Love your enemy, and forgive those who persecute you”

“Whoever takes up the sword shall perish by the sword”

“God will bring to ruin those ruining the earth”

- Jesus Christ
