Replying to a comment on:
When Jesus Found Me (Free verse) by http://mulberryfairy
I was just sitting in class
arguing with the Bible-thumper as usual
when Jesus entered the room-
or maybe that was just the first moment I noticed him.
I instinctively knew he was the Christchild even though
he was not the Jesus Iâd seen in pictures.
He was wearing a shiny crimson and black Dracula cloak
which contrasted against his pale skin
and complemented his eyes, which were black and cruel.
He didnât seem pleased with the Bible thumper
whoâd been unable to convince us heathens
that it was a good thing that Ginsberg (the Homo) had died.
All Jesus had to do was to call his name, âTimothyâ
and Tim started to shrink.
It was as if he was imploding
both with the shame of his failure
and from the wrath of Jesus.
The next thing I saw was
his clean cut head hitting the desk and falling,
his tidily starched shirt dirtying on the dusty floor.
I thought, Jesus has to be discreet.
Miracles can happen as long as there is no scientific evidence:
Religion wouldnât be any fun if there werenât opposition.
Jesus turned to another guy
whoâd been indifferent during the argument.
Jesus didnât kill this dude immediately-
he humiliated him first.
He talked about how the guy had herpes
and that he hadnât told his fiancé.
I started to shake:
At least that guy had bothered to get engaged.
If Jesus was going to be pointing out acts of immorality
I knew that Iâd be next.
I was trembling so badly,
I was sure that Jesus would see me
out of the corner of his omniscient eye.
I ducked out of the side door,
while Jesus finished up Mr. STD.
I kept thinking as I ran,
Allah?
The Merciful?
The Compassionate?
Then why did God make sex so much fun,
lying so convenient,
and let retail businesses open on Sundays?
I heard Jesus call my name in his deep, booming voice
(it sounded just like God does on TV)
and I woke up, sweating in my bed.
It was no big deal though,
I turned up the air conditioner
so the room wouldnât be too hot for sex
and got back into bed with tonightâs partner.
âI love you baby.â
