in servitude to some absurd divine command
to be beholden to vanity?
to dance for every self-important dunce
who thinks he deserves respect
he hasn't even begun to earn?
what megalomaniacs will people
the Aquarian Age
what simple horrors of daily sloth
and mendacity will take all the good
from so many worthless attempts at blessing
the fatal ignorance of the proud and the lame
why did Jesus waste his blood
pleading forgiveness for the consensus of clowns
that rule us all to worldly death?
maybe one day I'll be strong enough to forgive
the ones who hold their knives to my throat
and demand a blessing that gives them liberty
but that silence from the heavens is particularly galling
oh what's a Christ to do?
