Premise
this poem is an simple attempt to understand the levels of friendship till a long-term relationship with Jesus using social media language; What stage are you at in your friendship or relationship with the Christian faith, I mean with Jesus Christ himself?
One came saying
“I am not on the faith platform
or I do not do faith and Spirituality stuff.
Never had any interest and not sure if I ever will”
Another one said
“This faith stuff I don’t get it
I have been interested a bit
But I try my best to destroy the desire and any feeling of interest soon as it arises”
Then there was another one who said
“I am unsure of my position
But I feel like I am stalking Christianity and faith generally.
Yeah, I do get on the faith platform but not at all enthusiastic about it”
And an interesting take by another one who came saying
“I remember seeing this random friend request
And, wait for it; it was from a someone called Jesus
It is now kind of awkward as the faith platform
keeps reminding of the pending friend request”
and then came a surprised one saying
“Wait when did I even confirm the friendship request, it says we are friends, what?
I even poked him a few times and he has poked back plus Jesus’s sent me a few messages
He has also shared some very kind stuff on my timeline…
I’m somewhat interested in him, but I am not sure if I open the messages; is he going to assume I am super interested and then it will get even more awkward”
And came the one who sat on the fence
“For me we are friends, we don’t speak too often
but now and again I comment on his posts and he comments on mine and
We sometime remember to say Happy birthday to each other when I remember.
I mean it is like a hit and miss kind of a thing
and with birthdays it is only once a year so quite manageable
plus, if stuff isn’t looking good I do drop him a few direct messages’
and then the ‘in a relationship’ one
“We are in a proper friendship and we speak quite often.
I feel Jesus is such a kind person.
He’s helped me with quite a lot of stuff about my life through his grace and life
and even though sometimes I find myself in tough times
When I call on him he doesn’t always grab me out of life’s ‘shit’, pardon my language,
but walks with me through it and beyond”
and then the one who looks strangely distant
“For me we used to be so close with Jesus
Then life got quite busy and I kind of drifted away slowly then faster n faster
and I hardly check my inboxes from him.
I occasionally see the notifications, the ‘hi there’ and ‘how are you?’
and yeah, I have fallen into the habit of just ignoring them
I used to feel so bad about it but now I am so used to it
I do not like thinking about it as it makes me feel sad knowing how much we have been through together but yeah… that’s life isn’t it? …
I am in no rush to worry about it though I feel is should do something”
And the spouse
“We got supper close with Jesus
And we thought it was a good idea to move our friendship to another level
To come out open and change our relationship status to ‘married’
So everyone would know we are one, him in me and I in him
His commitment and promise is that;
‘not even death can ever do us part’
If we are together till eternity, I want to know him and to be known in full”
?
Now then which is your paragraph?
