Fed Up

You know how we got into this mess we’re in? You don’t? Well, it ain’t but one problem: God’s mad. He don’t like the way we been doing Him. God’s mad at the whole world, so the whole world is in the toilet.  So is Jesus. He’s mad too. Jesus, He cometh down unto the earth and saith: “Turn the other cheek.” Now, you ever met a single solitary mortal who done it? Hell, no. Jesus said, “Love thy brethren and sistren as thou dost loveth thyself.” We didn’t do it. We ain’t never done it. Jesus and God said, “Leave behind your wicked ways and follow after me.” Nobody done it. You see, it’s just so long you can get away with doing Jesus and God wrong. Then you pay the piper. That’s the pickle we each and every one of us is in right this minute on this God’s green earth of the year of our Lord 2020: we paying. Put on your face mask, hunker down at home, your head up your ass, wear all the masks you like, it still won’t make no nevermind. You’ll still pay. Dearly. On account of God and Jesus is fed up.
