Poems

The menu maker
There came a man from Bethlehem
to Galilee
to gather men
to sow the word
and so the story goes
they idolised
then crucified
buried and
then
deified
and he came back to
tell them
'you're forgiven'
Judas with his conscience drowned
by thirty pieces
***** crowns
hanging by his very own
shortcomings
and the day begins again they said,
the day
that the good book was read
or so the story leads us to believe
and I never know what's right or wrong
to raise a lonely voice
or go along
it's not that I'm not strong just undecided.
