I Have Found My Xavier

Have you found a Saviour;

One to emulate,

Then denegrate,

Whip and crown and tree?

Then turn, and say,

It wasn't me.

 

Would I have seen the god-like qualities,

Listen to the sermons,

Eat the fish and bread,

Drink the watery wine?

Would he raise me from the dead?

Could my feet fit the prints

On the sands of Galilee.

Would he admonish me

For having two coats,

Finishing my smoke

With one straw in my coke?

 

I have found my Saviour.

His name is Xavier.
