Trickster Talks Religion

The kicker is, suppose Jesus
wasn’t the son of God after all
-Sorry folks, our mistake- he was
just a young Rabbi, and upstart
full of spunk and speculation,

Trickster stretches the moment

and charismatic also comes to mind.

He says.

Now suppose he didn’t want to be
the Idol, King of the Jews and all,
or give cause for worship and prayer
and praise to the father, the son
or wars called forth in his name.

Suppose there never was this ghost,

I see it coming

just me

he says,

and an open window.
