Kit Kelen #1306 - everyone is Jesus - a little comedy for godsbother

1306

everyone is Jesus

a little comedy

for gosbother

if you were to write the books

of what everyone did

the world would still spin on after

as if we’d never been

and so revolves a sun

in the end kind of explodes

takes us with it

that’s not the end at all

so all stars

and further still who knows?

survival of my greatest lines

is really a species thing

stand out

a clear night

anyone sees

it is in fact all about me

there are gospels

of getting the story straight

pretending a truth at a time

as if a new tune had always been

rise bread from the dead

call it spring, summer

sit on your egg

tread water

turn it to vines

and to wine

pass it on

be blessed

cast first stone

it’s safer to think a rock is a bear

than other way around

and you can cure yourself of a book

burn

bury

the lovely dust is stirring still

gods are in all things

god is

see how glory shines around

nothing logical in this

there’s putting the martyr into stigmata

gives the whole thing feeling

you can be word

in the beginning

just as in our father’s art

everyone is Jesus

all wonders we are

and miracle to be

here’s sun for a top deity

and all pray for rain

then put on this wolf in sheep

go on

be righteous

who hasn’t eaten the children

just once?

stiff-necked lot

and where’s my footstool scapegoat?

fists and fear

an empire grows

out of the old excuses

miracle oxygen

ideas run round

gods in odd socks

we each of us are

and all this while

think big

give yourself a funny hat

mutter out things they won’t know

who hasn’t made a universe

thought ‘good job! lo and behold!

done it once…

I can probably do it again’

?

could be white beard

make a manna drop

gets them all praying

part seas

fuck pharaoh

don’t forget your tablets

everyone is Buddha too

sits like that on a grain of rice

and you might think forever

but it all bounces back

you could be Lao-Tzu

come to the border

riddle a way out of the kingdom

do it by the book

fifteen billion years

all expanding

pity the life of a fly if you like

I’m telling you

them’s the odds

there isn’t a single god you can’t be

some only ever cited once

in works no less obscure than this

where

here the lesson endeth:

stay in genre

know your place

best to go unnoticed

assume an unimportance

not mattering

survive
