PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Admittedly,

the faith of Celtic Christianity

has won a major, and a final, victory

upon this isle.

Its pleasantly salvific style---

compared to our more ghastly, vile
habit of burning human beings alive---

will surely thrive

long after I am not heard from again.

What is, is not as fine as what has been.

What is to be done?  Here is my new April Theses:

This faith does not appeal to me.  Instead it

must be subjected to the worst discredit

(dropping from everyone like springtime feces).

And matters of pure faith do not survive intact
when subject to what sounds more like a fact
than an opinion.

With that in mind, after we have attacked,
the words of Celtic Christians they will flee

the field of this debate, and leave to me

the proclamation that they are defeated,

and most unworthy of their new dominion.

Oh no, this does not seem to me the least conceited,

nor the least caustic:

I have certain authorities

that will, most certainly, displease

them (like:  Christ is not buried in Christ's tomb,

but somewhere else, despite what they presume).

I have the privilege of a Gnostic

view, and Gnostics like me can condemn

fools, or at best lost sheep, like them.

A hidden, esoteric history

(from which I draw) is stll a mystery

from which they will not seek a penetration.

Even their holy records' idiocy

was written in a vast conspiracy
in Rome, by Rome's administration

who hope that grasping even more control

of them (like concepts of original
sin---

an ode to that I sent to London for a spin)

will fill the coffers fast as all their coins roll

in.
