WAS JESUS A STONER?

When i wrote this poem way back when and put it in the Paris Chapbook, little did I know that Paul was just carrying on an, ahem, family tradition. Well for those who didn't see it here first . . .

First Century Psych Out


St. Paul’s
sunlight trauma—
Dropped some acid. Saw faces.
Messiah cult tripper religious
visions

Roman-
rebel-Jew-boy-
David-wannabe cum
Crack Pharisee called Sadducees
“Bad Guys.”

Not cool.
High priest guy got
Herod court justice rule:
“Hang the rebel.” One more traitor,
bumped off.

Standing
tall behind Paul
pagan god-head mystic
saving story. “Osiris does
sect-change.”

Gentile
preacher hero
ripped myth raising story—
Faith based Roman best seller. Aye.
Christians.
