22 Poems Probably Slandering God and Jesus
By Lenny Everson (who may or may not have been hit by a lightning bolt by the time you see this). Verrrry interesting stuff for only $5!
I've spent my life looking for God. This is a book of my searches, in way. Equally intriguing for both believers and non-believers, as well as for fellow searchers. Should stimulate theological discussion (seminaries take note).
Sample
It Might Work
In the crystalline minutes before midnight
I was crawling along the west wall of
St. Grotesque of the Subway's basement
My hands feeling for hidden panels
Loose tiles for carefully-hidden keyholes
A priest, flashlight wavering
Knelt beside me, startling
My seeker heart
"I've figured it out," I told him
"There's a passageway here, somewhere
It goes through God's orifice, and out
His muzzle to streets of gold
Pearly gates, platinum wings.
The carpenter's son was devious, but
I've figured the code."
He turned off the flashlight, sat down.
"Go ahead," he said. "It might work.
God knows, nothing else has."
At one point Jesus
promised to be right back. Real soon. Couple of decades, max.
Right around the corner. Look it up.
It’s been 2000 years, give or take a bit.
Good Christians of faith figure they must have missed something
in the bible. Or they try not to read that part again.
Or there’s a secret code hidden that gives the real date.
I wish he hadn't made that promise.
