Santa / Jesus / Sadaam
posted by John Davies at 7:48 PM
We have captured a man with a big big beard.
He has become our scapegoat.
This is the man we blame for a loss of order in our world.
It is his fault we are
Fearful in our tower blocks,
At war without enemies,
At work without peace,
At odds with strangers,
Strangers in our own homes,
Deep in debt,
Roadkill.
We have captured a man with a big big beard.
He has become the excuse
For our retail addictions,
Preemptive judgements,
Arms escalation
And endless crucifixions.
We have captured a man with a big big beard.
His trial will not save us.
Exposed in flashlights
He may not look the man he was
But others, more dangerous, still walk free
Under cover of democracy
Freewill
And seasonal cheer
