Replying to a comment on:

Christ At The Oscars (Free verse) by Caducus

Pay to sit with crows See them chew on souls Watch the auction of faith Be sold to buy a conscience. I carried a cross to bear On a Gethsemane of popcorn As people gazed and names rolled And Mel Gibson’s name left me cold. On Oscar night will Christ win? I pray to God Mel thanks him, And as Jewish actors applaud and smile I will wipe a tear from my salted phial, The silver screen has rusted, And profits made from prophets slayed From Messiah to mortal entrusted.

Great poem!! Powerful theme that will smack any unassuming reader across the face. Tactful wording. Well thought-out. On a personal note: I am a guiltly audience member, glorifying the mere middle-man & not the prince. How ignorant mankind can be. Thank you personally for the slap.
