The Profound and Profane

 

Jesus Christ!

For Christ’s sake!

Why is it

should I hear

those cries out loud,

I turn around

to see?

Likely, someone

has either smashed

their finger

with a hammer,

or has seen

something

ungodly

and is surprised

or amazed.

Surely they are

not calling me out

by name

for I do not resemble

him even from afar

or behind.

I have never

worked a miracle

for I have not

been favorably

endowed with

such super human

abilities.

Jesus Christ!

He was a good man

the Bible claims.

You never hear someone

yell out, Holy Buddha,

Good Yahweh or

for Mohamed’s sake!

Jesus Christ!

I am no longer

a believer in miracles.

And Lord knows

that could never be me.

I’ve had a few

rebirths figuratively

in my lifetime

here on Earth,

and heaven knows,

I have tried at times

to lead a better life.

But it turns out

the world and mankind

are still one hell of a mess.
