Jesus Revisited

Jesus Revisited He was born out of wedlock and some say his father was God the Divine I am not sure of that immaculate projection but genes were involved and I believe that some assisted fertilization may have started his journey Adultery would be if not blasphemous too judgemental what is a piece of paper when progeny was needed to look after his parents no social security system in those days when persecution and genocide was on the agenda He was not so keen on drugs other than wine made from water a hippie with flowers in heart hair mind and beautiful soul but nevertheless became a free loving roamer a drifter poet of the oral tradition full of wisdom and compassion Does it matter whether Magdalene Mary happened to become his lover when tables were turned at the temple how the tides parted to walk on the sea bed or whether the salt of too many tears of depression floated the message He was a Middle Eastern guy most probably coloured in skin with all chakras involved from the mix of a rainbow of promise he counselled and healed with suggestion charisma almost hypnotic powers used for the purpose of psychic proportions He might have sported tattoos depicting a snake or a lion some contact address emergency number engraved on his forehead a belly ring maybe of a cross to be cast to foreshadow his inner and outer appearance scarred healing healed Much like him I am horrified by wars murder hypocrisy crusading terror napalm orange agents Hiroshima Holocaust and the senseless slaughter of groups others Peoples and ideas peace humankind I passionately care for his message and his proposal his resilience To stand up for injustice for freedom from evil and freedom of passive resistance rebellion and faith and beliefs for what matters He would have been a big pal with the Buddha spiritual leaders of another age time place contingency context hegemony plight would maybe not mind a panoply of Hindu Gods and Godesses and have the Koran next to his straw mattress fire and all I care for Jesus and he cares for me 22nd July 2016

A great poem to read over and over again ... Any poetry lover with a rational attitude would share my view ... Well chosen simple but rich words to develop a minority view ...

Hey Silent, thank you. I guess a lot of things may have to be said and some will trigger reactions from many sides of the philosophical spectrum. I think that it is pretty clear, that I am not offending Jesus, not religion, nor anybody who might have a different view on whether Jesus wore a nipple ring or not. I respect all belief systems and faiths, unless they call for fanatic actions or infringe on my own spiritual faith. I think, that Christianity is quite cool and maybe there will be a little soup discussion. XXX Kai
