Remove your history as ye will.
Delete, erase your archives
But ye should know on judgement day
that Christ will check your hard-drives
just a joke

You wote that?
I think you should go back to school... and this time, pay attention.

the 2nd line does not scan properly. there is a logical inconsistency in that if Christ checks your hard drive, you have erased the archives from it (?).
***
To Music Lad: Surely the use of the two verbs 'delete' and 'erase' imply in a metaphorical sense (we are after all dealing with poetic verse here) an absolute and permanent removal of the said data. Surely, if the metaphorical allusion is to Christ's complete knowledge of our thoughts and history no matter how much we hide them, then the poem's logic would still hold even if the word 'shred' had been added to 'delete' and 'erase'. I think you are taking a too literal view of the computer metaphor and my comment about logical inconsistency would have been remedied if the line had been something like 'Christ don't need to read your hard-drive'. ?????

To MrFeelYoung: Hey they poem says DELETE and ERASE - it does not say overwrite or "shred" - if Christ knows enough about computers he will know that deleting just tells the computer that area of the disk is available for writing on, meaning the data is still there for quite some time unless it gets overwritten.
Well its not exactly literature that will put you down in history but it is kinda funny! (People who don't understand are obviously too young to realise what may be in your history you don't want people to see!

Truthfully, it sounds like it should be on the inside of a card. Hallmark for Christian Geeks. WIth Puritan language. However, I've always had serious issues with poetry that rhymes, and I'm a screaming heathen myself. But it may just be me. Amusing, nonetheless.

I like it. I think it's cute. I think it's saying that whatever we do in an attempt to cover up all our human inadequacies, we can't hide our true selves from God. "Art" is in the eye of the beholder, so ignore that "certain member of your community."

Well you certainly caused a mixed reaction here. I'd call it a marmite poem, you either love it or hate it!
PS Luv it myself!

Very witty
When Jesus checks that spinning disc
Off to Hades he will you whisk
For know it clear, 'tis plain to tell
That deleted files he restoreth well!
