Holy Water Can Not Help You Now

Tell me what your Jesus looks like

A Jewish peasant, a political revolutionary

Pretty blue eyes-a standard Jewish trait, I’m sure

God must have been colorblind

Long luscious hair and a bright airy halo

Or grotesque and hunchbacked

With crooked teeth and a chip on his shoulder

The holy candle holder


Tell me what your Jesus looks like

White and pure

Or non-white and poor

No one wants a nappy haired Jesus

Lustful for (wo)men

Singularly queer

A homosexual mindfuck

An effeminate fairy

Or a caricature of hypermasculinity


Tell me what your Jesus looks like

A humble and kind man with words of wisdom

Born of the Virgin Mary

50% non-DNA, half-god

The anointed Messiah

Or born of Panthera the Soldier

50% Roman DNA, non-god

The bastard son of a harlot


Tell me what your Jesus looks like

Black and blue, bleeding on the cross for you

Crucified like a common criminal

Buried and resurrected on the third day

Or left on the cross for the vultures to strip his flesh away

Like every common criminal


Tell me what your Jesus looks like

A stunningly beautiful angel

Or a stumped, deformed mortal

Did the Romans kill Jesus? Was it the Jews? Or his father?

What father would kill his own son

If only for his masochistic desires?

God the Holy Androgyne, fetishizing his own (pri)son

Divine child abuse

Holy water can not help you now.
