Crucifixtion Comedy

On your crucifixtion day, take a gift from me

 

It didn’t cost a cent, I made it all for free

 

You’ll love it like you did Mary Magdaline

 

A small glimpse of the world after you go off and die for sin

 

I’m a man of words, I hope you’ll stick around

 

You don’t have a choice, those nails are in there pretty sound

 

As you’re dying of dehydration and hematadrosis

 

Know that now in court, people blame you for their psychosis

 

A father hears a voice tells him to **** his kid

 

You’re responsible for more infant deaths than SIDS

 

Another man fills a pipe with nails; a clinic up in flames

 

And the inspiration derives from your holy name

 

The Holy Crusades, now that’s a delight

 

Did you know they actually sent children to fight?

 

It’s true, and in your name no less

 

I’ll tell you right now, it was not a success

 

They next denied the holocaust

 

But never you think all is lost

 

They’re right on board with marrying gays

 

Oh wait, I messed up that last phrase

 

I don’t think you fathom the harm to come

 

The damage that’s done because you’re the son

 

Of the holy god, my former employer

 

Before I was keeper of killers and lawyers

 

Heres some advice, take it from me

 

You’re wasting your time, get off that tree

 

Get down, and have a long talk with your father

 

Tell him **** ‘em all, and next time try harder.”
