Please read the last stanza before you call me a sinner...

This is an adaptation of Dramatic Verse, Shakespeare or not...

Only what we can laugh about, can we take seriously...

The Past Flutter

In the ‘shame’ of the mother the daughter and
in unruly spirit a drag queen enters the land

Why not she ponders my Jesus is transgender
he himself turned the tables and went on a bender

Engaged with Magdalene and not all disciples
fit nicely with the notion of strict archetypal

‘normality’ posterity wants to make us believe
that queerness was not up his caring sleeve

Rags and pink feathers surely adorned his crown
yet straight followers of conviction whittled down

diversity otherness distinctive medley variance
excluded themselves from a different stance

Lesbian gay bisexual trans-all Jesus’ are so close
to his or her message in open minded repose

I am not mocking and do not wish to offend
but greatness has no borders in this holy land

I imagine He would have stood by all genders, to take on the persecution and the beating He did and then to be nailed to a cross...he was the highest order of empath, so perhaps you are correct amongst the lines here, he took on others ideals' of themselves.
