We
meet a Messiah,
real goods, a God, great
powerful charismatic character.
Where
He goes no one forgets
and pieces from all and
sundry stick to Him as He passes.
This
unforgettability
makes us trail His
footsteps, desiring fresh new answers
to questions
we've never formulated
before this encounter, never
acknowledging our needs, our hungers.
Dilemmas
are suddenly solved
simply, elegantly, effortlessly
just by letting Him have a little piece of soul,
not enough to
notice, a nick, a slice
but His hunger grows, grows
and grows, grows, grows, filling all of the Space
until
our Messiah
bites off heads as
He passes, swallowing souls whole, Big Gulps, insatiable
unquenchable,
corrupted just like all Addicts
and Redemption becomes just another delusion
on the fringe, the front lines and blind addled alleys of the Path.
