Sowing a Seed To Make Me Bleed

If they had tied forsaken Jesus to a fig tree in India to play with his flute

The Buddha might have turned out a crucifix charmer licking the sweet core

History propels an ocean with cascades drift wood and signposts to implore

Rewriting a legend may seem  bloody on branches but is no trivial pursuit

But a philosophical mind game with seeds of doubt on an innermost shore


Seekers of truth would still turn tables for four noble truths or resurrection

Darwin could still remove the loin cloth in nude heretic secular anticipation

Of wars and crusades a blind sighted mutation folding the cross for protection

Pigs continued to fly cows remained holy and prophets were doomed in starvation

While vultures replaced peace doves mess on marble statues in final selection

I bleed dear Saviour for mere existence misses the target of raw cross-pollination

Thank you Richard. Pondering is the aim, apart from self-expression ...

Thank you Jenish. I guess with all that philosophy and religion around us, we have to select the seed carefully.
