Struggling against his Inner Self;         he finally comes out at 30, telling anyone willing to listen his weird tales & odd sayings,   making others think he was only attracted to his own kind;            until finally, declaring he & his father one, he as publicly mocked & crucified;       his friends turn their backs on him, people make up stories about the fabulous things he did, his only real message to love one other; Pilate, a sexist-homophobe hailed to the crowd: 'Shall I release the ****** son of a ****** A good Jew who tends to the sick? Or Barabbas?              Serial ****** murdering thief, ***** dealer, liar, & general scum?' 'Give us Barabbas!'   they cry as if welcoming a conquering hero, and Barabbas is released among them like a wolf among sheep... 'Crucify! Crucify!' They cry ever louder: 'Crucify the ****** Carpenter! Let him build his own cross!!!' Heeding the crowd, Pilate has him pilloried on a cross fashioned by 'Joseph & Son inc.'         The event going so well,       soon Joseph's shop has a run on crosses...

His Father's Son
Struggling against his Inner Self;         he finally comes out at 30, telling anyone willing to listen his weird tales & odd sayings,   making others think he was only attracted to his own kind;            until finally, declaring he & his father one, he as publicly mocked & crucified;       his friends turn their backs on him, people make up stories about the fabulous things he did, his only real message to love one other; Pilate, a sexist-homophobe hailed to the crowd: 'Shall I release the ****** son of a ****** A good Jew who tends to the sick?
