American Jesus Comments

I love the smart assery and the brevity of this poem. It flows well, and it shows that you know what you're doing with your work, that is to say, you're not writing blindly. Nice work.

I think you could go a lot further with this idea- a lot more detail- quite a list poem. (however that highway system is in decay)

Jimi! I wish I had written this. Sharp, incisive and edgy. Brilliant. On my poem list. (8 so far) kudos.

Why did you write this? Here is my thought. There is no such thing as the American Jesus. Jesus' nationality is not of this world or its kingdom. This could be an American view of Jesus. But if it is the true Jesus you knew, the one and only, you would not write this about him. He is loving and honest and speaks gently even to those who hate him.
