Christ State of Mind

A Poem by Apollos

Where’s your head at?

Evil is the acceptance of your mind’s suppression.
Further recession towards your newest 2nd guessing.
Time for a lesson that leads to freedom from oppression.
This is the Christ State of Mind.

For all those blind it’s time to unwind from your latest thought crime.
Hope resides in the climb.
Take your time to detect the lies.
This is the Christ State of Mind.

Focus on the divine, no need to divide.
I realize you were an Isosceles in your prime but now you’re Scalene with your pride.
Do you want a wife or a goddess?
Does she have to be the hottest?
Are you being modest when you find her meekness as weakness?
This is the Christ State of Mind.

Unpack. Rewind.
Stay in your lane.
Trust so you can obey.
Hear and don’t delay.
Consume this is Chick-Fil-A.
“My pleasure” when He says The Ticket has been paid.
This is the Christ State of Mind.

Yet my heart is unbridled for those who take pride in their circumcision.
They had been given all the provisions.
Among them is where the Stump of Jesse started His mission.
But is it really Israel or rather Jacob?
Are they lying about their birthright or was Esau just faking?
This is the Christ State of Mind.

It’s not by works but by Him who calls.
Mercy & compassion for those who fall.
Raise up Pharaoh to display power & His Name.
Who are you, O man, to talk from the grave?
Shall what is depraved ask why they preform in such a way?
Does not the Potter have a say in what shall be formed out of the clay?
Are we not marveling at the great patience of The Way?
Have you betrayed the riches of His glory by listening to another story?
Have you not been called the Sons of the Living God?
Has His sentence not been carried out with speed & finality?
Are you not tired of the neutrality of having to always consider your mortality?
This is the Christ State of Mind.

Stumble over the Stumbling Stone.
Swipe one more time on Bumble to really see who sits on the heart of your throne.
Get crushed by that rock to see really how much you can’t refrain.
Zion stepping out of his shoe so that we may be reminded we walk by faith and not sight.
All those stuck in Rona fright need to trust in The Name that will never be put to shame even on a Good Friday night.
This is the Christ State of Mind.
