Oh man of god Jesus was, and of Jewish blood so we're told
sagacious messiah who lived some two thousand years ago
in Bethlehem. Carpenter by trade, prophet betrayed, king
shit to the Jews, tormentor the Romans knew, gods Hebrew
son who died on the cross to save all of us, and than to rise
three days later singing just
"Farewell old world forever, farewell old world forever
Farewell to all of you so clever
Fools you are, for you never saw through the tricks I played
tricks I did to see you obey, tricks to make you pray
and you followed me so afraid
Some thought me a dirt-poor fool, but the fool is you
for now I've returned to fathers house, to watch you from
above and see you act the louse
King of you I surely am, played you I did for the blood of
all man, gave you I did, some reason to go forth
and kill in my name
That there be you on a road of shame, killing your own
kind for the king proclaimed"
Jews who knew the man, spread his message of love distorted
there throughout the land they taught and slaughtered
from sons and daughters they took pride, destroyed their
minds to control far and wide
Violence was the order of the day, man of any race who
strayed, took it upon himself to disobey. He who did was
quickly cut down, punished for the price of fame
Children were separated and segregated from birth, for
there a child should grow up ashamed of ones worth
Moreover the child would give up their life for Jesus
kill one another under a rulers duress they would through
the ages, rape their weak neighbour too in stages
Even cripples and babies would not be spared the wrath
of man. All in the name of this man Jesus Christ, son
of god who is said to have saved all of us
Jesus Christ, who was he and why did he suffer for us?
Why does man follow him just, slay humankind in his
name? Why oh why, somebody tell me please. Sleep we
all shall and never know reasons to appease, always
our beliefs are suppressed to keep us tame
Does one not have a voice?, does one throw away their
choice? Bible stories tell of the man this Jesus was
Mind you, the book has flaws, because this book of god
never was when Jesus walked the earth, it only so
came about long after his rebirth, how very odd for
the son of god
Cold fires did his supporters bring to life, abused their
minds and wrote down false truths they did, and where
necessary they taught the teachings of Jesus by knife
killed so they should survive
Oh Jesus Christ sure was the man, prophet of evil we
all did condemn, a man so remembered for what?
A man that we all allowed into our souls weak spot
Men of god spread his truth, down through the ages
until it reached all of us. Churches so tall and proud
reaching for the clouds, a place one goes to pray
to listen for what one should obey. This Jesus it does
seem, gives hope to those who have lost their way
But where do I fit in?, will Jesus save me from sin?
Oh Jesus, oh Jesus, just look at what you started
look at all the hatred. Could it truly be you, king of
the Jews? Well I don't care what you be, messiah
or whatever others see, for you don't rock my world
Furthermore, god too don't rock my world, so you
and your heavenly father can go to hell. If only
heaven and hell were all so true in life's ruptured
shell, that's but another story to tell

Let those who question the beliefs of myself or anyone else cast the first stone, for in this life nobody can truly say that they are perfect.

Wow, this shows a lot of talent in your writing and even in the rhyming which could almost go un-noticed. Thanks for sharing!

Well put.
"...slaughtered from sons and daughters they took pride, destroyed their minds to control far and wide." Nice, because it's so true. And many more. I'd wish you luck in the contest, but it seems there isn't one any more...
Nonetheless, all the best! Dw
