Jews
writing about Jesus
What’s
that all about?
Are
they just covering their bases?
Let’s
not forget Christ was a Jew
Let’s
also not forget when He rose again
He was
still very much a Jew
No
matter whose sins he died for
No
matter if you like it or not
And the
Christians are not the Chosen people
And the
Jehovah Witnesses are not the Chosen people
They’re
all attempting jump on a train that’s already
Left
the station.
And
Christ is the Redeemer
Be it
in São Paulo or Steubenville
And a
saint is a sinner
And a
sinner is a saint
And
never shall the twain meet
Because
if they did this house of cards
Would come
crashing down atop our hypocritical heads
And I
am still punching away at forty seven years of age
Even if
the other poets want nothing to do with me
I’ve
never fit in with any subsect of people
It’s
just the way the shit floats when you’re irascible
And the
time is now for revolt and reclassification.
I’m a
Jew
Yes it’s
true
According
to Jewish Law because my mother is Jewish
I am
also one of the chosen
And
when Netanyahu is no longer the Prime Minister of Israel
I plan
to return to the land of my people
Because
Cleveland and me have never seen eye to eye
And if
it wasn’t for my lack of making any greenbacks
I’d get
away as fast as I possibly can because my redemption
Does not
exist in this uninspiring concrete jungle of
Cavaliers
and Indians.
I write
about Jesus a lot
Just
like Leonard and Bob have done on occasion
Because
I feel comfortable with this Rabbi, this teacher,
This insurgent
who knew how to bring power back to the people
While leaving
the powers that be in the unforgiving dust of another
Barren desert
landscape.
