OF GODS AND GOATS

by Nevada Kerr


Wondrous Messiah
Of strange unworldly things
Weary wounded crier
And spellbound King of Kings

You sacrificed your prime
To make humble mortals cringe
Juggling justice just in time
For someone else's binge

Inverse beam of deemster Deuce
Avatar of the long lost ruse
The surrogate to fill our shoes
If peddling Pan should fail

Like the cruciforms molded on
The sacred vice of fear
Shadows flock and kneelers walk
Where bloody footprints reappear

And the holy fools give in
To your madly mumbled tale
Of a gleaming tree of light
Within the mystic Grail
