waiting for Jesus

[mnaz]

We're all waiting for Jesus. Waiting for something.

[revolutionR]

Waiting for the miracle to come...but if they think it's going to be a beautiful white guy with a beard, that if you can find him in history.

[mnaz]

... waiting for Godot, or almost anything we've heard about from dust till dawn and back again, never quite waiting for ourselves to emerge from beneath the plastic rim...

[revolutionR]

Plastic is a petroleum product.poetry is made of words, and words are not plastic.

[mnaz]

Yes. They can flex, but they're not tied to plastic worlds, or any number of rigid ones that came before.

I have lived on the steetlong enough to get deep hungry . Some of the most amazing wonderful crazy real desperate people I ever met were sharing food and drink with me ,looking after me I was amazed at the kindness showed by the invisable. your poem brought them back to me I know my time spent on the road has temperd me in a way that nothing else could have.
Jesus has alwys been a wonderfull conjure for me as it takes two or more for him to be there ,how many forms of the universal intelagence ,great spitit , the wind.the sea sky and beuitiful woman,who is kindness ,love and forgivness ,he ,it they , never left .I found that any one can be jesus that was the gift for me.The blood scrifice for our sins just a melow drama made up like a voodo king would. the simple solution of love was just not taxiable ,yup the poem got me going ..

I have studied about religion, philosophy and magic, but it was always in the context of being a poet.i mean I tend to see religion as a system that was put into place long ago to control the humans. There is truth in all these systems but is almost impossible to see unless you read a lot of books, and then it is like the way a zen monk teaches by not teaching, but showing by an example, maybe using a koan. I was influenced by the surrealists because they were kinda like crazy zen monks, they were always searching and never settling on some ridged view of how a painting or a poem can be. Those so called critics on AT act like they were brainwashed, Hitler said about the surrealists that if they continue to think that way, they should be done away with.That one guy on there that leads in the attacks you have to wonder how a person like that ever got into poetry in the first place, And the owner acts like his lap dog.It seems psychopathic to me.Attack attack attack.
