The Second Coming Vs. the Spectacle

The second coming of Jesus coincided with the World Cup game, But no one noticed him as he had no expensive merchandise bearing his name. People were flocking en masse to the stadium, with it bright lights and pyrotechnics galore, And Jesus with his long hair and sandals, looked a little like a bum, So was quite easy to ignore. One brave man spoke, and I thought he had something to say, But all he said to Jesus was 'Hey man, you're going the wrong way! ' So I asked Jesus, if anything it was he had to say, He shrugged his shoulders and said 'It doesn't really matter, I'm an atheist anyway.' 'All this Son of God !@#$, I don't really understand, I'm just a dissident carpenter, an ordinary man.' As for me, I'm a Pantheist, I see heaven in the trees. You wont catch me kissing the cross down upon my knees. So I'd best shut up 'fore I get myself in trouble, With all of the people out there who live inside a bubble.
