Footsteps of Jesus: A Short Poem on Faith and Practice
A short poem on the gap between faith and action — four sharp lines on what it really means to follow what you claim to believe.
Sometimes the shortest piece is the sharpest one. This is for the gap between identification and practice.
Everyone calls themselves
Christian…or Religious
Yet no one got the balls
To follow the footsteps of Jesus
The label is easy. The behavior is hard. The poem isn’t aimed at any particular faith — it just notices that for most belief systems, the acting like it part is the part most people skip.
