As a young child i was
taught about Jesus
Part God and part man
deceased but still sees us
I also recall how he
rose from the dead
ascended to heaven
and lives there instead
The whole thing confused me
beginning to end
The father, the son, and
a ghost in the wind
~~~
My Dad was so busy
for most of my life
chasing his second and
then his third wife
I grew up looking
for love in a bed
music and mantras
a buzz in my head
Heaven on Earth was
my own holy grail
wandering flesh with
some wine in a pail
~~~
Religions divide us
as our nation crumbles
crowning orange Jesus
America fumbles
Good Lord have mercy
on sinners and clowns
as men without morals
would burn the world down ~
