Christ For Sale (Free verse) by Caducus In stigmata skies
Christ shines upon himself,
Staining himself red
Leaving a mosaic path for sinners,
To clean themselves from a dirty priest
Who kisses the lamb
Then fucks the beast.
The persecutors persecute themselves,
By being conditioned in a rehearsed oration,
Singing Jewish myths through Judas lips
They betray themselves.
Lifeâs worst in their Sunday best,
Wearing dust from dead albino rabbits
An ugly truth made to look beautiful
On a pallid canvas, colour hides their darkness
like an early âChagallâ.
Here the righteous trespass the house of God.
To forgive those who trespassed against them.
Snapping Christ from Communion bread,
Which flours the hands of the blind,
And greens the palms of Devils,
Who buys Christâs body from the third World.
In a Church somewhere,
A baby cries
As men rejoice
And blue haired floor starerâs groan at the infant
Who is carried to the back and hushed by its slut matriarch.
I want to save these babies.
Baptize them in mortality,
Weep at the Sun of a dying day,
As we scatter the ashes of empty cross shaped coffins,
And hope instead of pray, whilst embracing reality.

Yeah! Great use of "slut matriarch" as an alternative to "mother"!!!!111
Thanks for your comment.
Please allow me to explain why i used slut matriarch. The blessed Virgin Mary is a paragon whom millions worship. Catholicism states that there should be no sex before marriage and my point here is that in the eyes of some religious extremists the mother may be thought of as hmm lets say loose. Some communion bread is imported from buddhist/jewish countries which is kind of ironic ehrn you think that this bread is snapped, consumed, and devoured (like Jesus). Also the third world after heaven and earth is hell - which is the third world, a living hell. I am not a devil worshipper, but i do however embrace the devils we mortals fear. I have committed many sins, one of which i committed when i attempted suicide, so in the eyes of the 'good book' i am evil and have spent (like many of us) trying to please Christ who i am arguing maybe an exaggerated myth. Hell I blame MArtin Scorsese ! and if i burn in hell at least I'll be with Goodfellas watching the last temptation of christ. I admire those who believe in god, without any feelings of negativity or bemusement. Thanks to all who comment, and apologies if offended.
Lot of ideas and solid facts here.
Nicely constructed, if a tad long.

Your work is quite skillful and this piece is no exception. However, I continue to be puzzled at the amount of energy and attention directed towards criticism of the church and those who believe in the Christian God. Regardless of who authors such work the bottom line is always the same; a substitution of the author's own sense of reality for the reality they so ardently attack. Whose version of reality are you hoping the delusional and mislead "believers" embrace?....the one they glean from their own senses and experiences or the one you profess is objectively derived? But as I said, the work is quite good. -9-
