giving jesus the runaround

Why must we keep eternally circling,
crucifying ourselves and eating our flesh,
self-admirers needing redemption
from an echoing self-gazing hell?

Why must we keep eternally circling?
Crucifying Jesus and eating his flesh?
Haven't we had enough yet?
Isn't he totally digested?

Why have we made the cross a pogo stick
upon which we eternally bounce?
Impaled. Released. Impaled. Released.

It's all the nonchristians too! An epidemic!
Perpetual motion machines of condemnation and salvation.

Why, I swear! Jesus needs to come back
and chase us with a chain saw!
But I bet we'd run around in circles.

  1. Ah those wonderful egos
    Impaled, released, impaled, released
    They feed on it
    They grow on it
    And are sustained

    No more impaling, releasing
    And the old best friend
    Just fades away

    Or as the saying sorta goes
    Who needs enemies
    If for your friends.
