Wow, where to begin with this one... you sure know how to pick topics that get straight to the heart of things, J!

I'm not going to spend my time debating or validating, as I suspect we see the world differently. So let's take a look at the poetry itself. The title, "Crucify Me," is apt... because with a poem like this, that's likely what you'll get from many corners :)

"are forever grateful /for christmas day / and santa claus" references how Christ has become, for many, a commercialized entity rather than diety. Also "We shout Jesus /
when we come / with no thought / of stigmata..." Honestly, this offends my Christian sensibilities, but mostly because it's true when I'd prefer it wasn't.

I can appreciate your poetry even when I don't agree with the opinions therein... I hope you can say the same of me! Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you. I have deleted it as although it was enjoyably provocative, I'm not sure it was that good.

thanks for commenting when you were at odds with the content.

It didn't deserve to be deleted... I was looking forward to the ensuing discussion!
