my poem for jesus

 

 

i believe in the lord

say amen

 

and i believe that the lord was gay

and i believe jesus would buy himself

a piercing in his foreskin

praise be

 

i drink

therefore i love the lord

for the lord did drinketh wine and

jesus christ!

he made the stuff with his

magical powers

 

god

if you're listening

i know you got multiple personality disorder

i know you think you're

jesus

son of man

holy ghost

and a slew of others

but god

just be yourself

that's what i do

 

hi.

i'm god.

how you doing?

got any wine?

 

i'm going to get a tattoo

of marilyn monroe on my ass

and my asshole will be her mole

or maybe tattoo a confederate flag

on my dick

it will fly at half mast

until i see

the girl of my dreams

the man of my dreams

the transvestite transgendered she/male

midget great dane of my dreams

 

jesus

i ask your forgiveness

i don't mind heaven or hell

i just don't want to die trying

 

i pray

give me a sign that

no man is created equal

no woman can beat me except in the kitchen

no drag queen can whip me unless

she's got the whip

and no drugs can bring me

closer to god

unless i take careless doses

mixed with holy water

and the blood of the lamb

 

fuck me jesus

fuck me

bleed in my mouth

kill me

kill me

take me out

i don't want to live in your scary

world.
