Re: WWJD?
Reading it again, I guess its a good poem...I just don't like that last line of not behaving liker him. I suppose you were referring to the temper tantrum at the temple, however.
Maybe He just saw through the B.S. and saw human idolatry and declared "Not in MY families house!"

What Jesus likely really looked like

He looks exactly like Robert Newton as Long John Silver.

Humor In Reality
I found this image to be somewhat humorous although it aptly describes our current lifestyle (at least in the West) as a species.

Re: What Jesus likely really looked like
The idea that one can know what Jesus looked like is inherently ridiculous, but as far as the basic physiognomy goes there is nothing particularly wrong with this illustration, except the man's stu*pid expression. Jesus in every movement and word he utters demonstrates intelligence, wisdom, personal command, mental balance and beauty of expression.
ABE: Should add the moral qualities one would see in Jesus' face too, the kindness and gentleness and concern for others. That's of course part of wisdom but I think it needs to be said. And what I meant by "personal command" could also be called "self possession." That is certainly not in the face of the illustrated man. But then none of these qualities are. That poor man looks like he would have a problem getting his socks on in the morning, or even keeping himself from hiding under the bed for fear of ...everything.

They need to add another image of a man staring at a smart phone.

Re: Humor In Reality
Not exactly. The man is wearing a pair of VR eyeglasses looking at a projection of a man looking at a smart phone.

Interesting. Perhaps your life experiences have allowed you to judge intellect from a man's appearance in a picture whose circumstances are totally unknown. I don't see anything revealing about the man at all.
It's the beard, isn't it?

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. Thomas Jefferson

I was thinking of the same thing. And, they are both fictional characters.
