If there were no Christ,
There would be no churches.
If there were no Christ,
There would be no agape love.
There would be no sacrificial bond
Between man and his brethren,
For men would only know to love themselves.
If there were no Christ,
The world would be worshiping Quetzalcoatl;
Ripping human hearts in anarchy,
And eating manflesh on every table.
China would still have its philosophies,
But, how could it win against such an advanced civilization
As the Aztecs? It couldn't.
If there were no Christ,
There'd still be wars; for, most of Europe's wars
Were due to territorial disputes, and religion only a pretext.
If there were no Christ,
There'd still be famines---probably more,
As science was Christianity's invention
Whom, trying to find order in the cosmos
We set out to find the very face of God.
If there were no Christ,
There'd probably be Pagan Rome, somewhere,
Its leaders looking like African Shaman,
And bone jewelry infused into their skulls;
It'd probably be the cult of Death,
A merging of Roman hedonism
With Aztec blood ritual;
Gladiatorial games, rape, homicide,
Would probably be common, everyday hobbies.
If there were no Christ,
China and Rome would have probably went to war,
In a major conflict, and the World Wars
Would have been American Natives,
In their advanced state, sailing across the Atlantic
And Pacific, landing on those shores,
And invading dilapidated Rome. Perhaps the Samaria in Japan
Or the Legions in China could abade them.
Perhaps they couldn't. But, mingled with the comforts
Of potato charged lamps, and aqueducts,
But also cannibalism, rape, orgiastic sex,
Loveless romances, and undefined genders
Morphing into a confused daze, and a drastic population reduction.
If there were no Christ, nor any wars fought by Christians,
The world would have a certain kind of peace,
Which wouldn't actually be a peace,
But would be every man set against his neighbor,
In grotesque body modifications which make a man look like a devil,
With human sacrifice, and murder as entertainment.
Nor, without Christ, most of all,
There could be no heaven or hell.
And without either, men would cease to be judged,
And thereby, no one could site all of these evils
As being such; it would be the state of humanity
That in peace, there would only be bloodshed;
A peace built on homicide, rape and cannibalism.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
