He Looks Like Jesus

he looks like “jesus”

long haired white guys,
from 
Koresh to
Vissarion,
to
AJ Miller---
these cult leaders all
“look like “jesus,”
according to many.

in fact,
all one has to do is
look like the pictures of
this fictional character,
in order to start his own
cult.

the desperate & empty will flock
to the fluffy haired scruffy faced,
and these are the idiots 
driving around in cars
on the same highway as you &
i---
these are the idiots who teach 
at your children’s schools,
until that one day 
when they leave their 
own lives completely,
to go & live in Siberia or Queensland 
with their
messiahs.

imagine if the charlatans who first
painted images of the infamous fictional
character, 
created a fat, 80 year old, bald guy,
with horrible acne &
rotted teeth…
would the idiots still flock?
would the idiots still give up their lives to
worship at the next 
compound?
