Nail Jesus again if and when
He burns from the sky
like lightning in the Texas night
practically as soon as He walks across
the Atlantic, steps foot on American soil,
in some sort of homemade Chacos, He’s done for.
Can you imagine…
Brown Man on CNN
handing out slices of sourdough in San Francisco
chatting on the corner w/ sex workers in St. Louis
at the Pride festival in Philly
shunning all Establishment and Empire
in DC and NYC and LA.
Befriending the day laborers outside
Home Depot in Buffalo or Pueblo.
Hanging out with Fishermen in the Gulf
catching salmon in the Pacific Northwest
Telling people not to tell others about “Him”
Explaining how hard it will be
for the Rich to go where He is going
Long-winded parables about empathy
(and vines). The flipping over of tables.
#nothanks #byeJesus
I doubt it would even take three years
until Those Same Folk (the Religious, the State)
nailed Him back up
strapped Him to the chair
plunged the needle beneath skin
And they would do it
all in the name of “Jesus”
With an American flag
flying in the wind. And jets
Soaring overhead.
Lots of jets.
❤️ Well said and so agreed.
