I Felt Like Jesus

Syd

 

The tipi was full
Hot wild eyed revellers 
Stretching their arms in the air 
Reaching for lasers
And temporary enlightenment 
Loosing themselves without a care

 

I set off on my mission 
Swimming with vigour 
Like a spawning salmon
Through the swell of the crowd 
Guided by free radicals 
My actions made my soul proud

 

Intoxicating all in my path
I parted the sea
Like Moses 
With his trusty staff
My staff is my bottle 
The content sacred 
Blow your head right off
Inhale all you want 
Just don't loose the top 

 

I swam and I swam 
Every reveler welcomed 
With open arms
No awkwardness
Or bad blood
We just want to happy 
Positivity 
For those lucky revellers 
From me it's for free

 

Eventually I find the front
Through the smoke heat and haze 
I see a silhouette dancing
Beyond the barriers 
In front of the stage
It takes me a moment to realise
It's my good friend Dave

 

I wave my arms and shout
He sees my offering and politely obliges 
I hold the bottle of poppers out
My work here is now done

 

I feel like Jeseus 
The messiah 
If only Jesus had amyl nitrates 
To take his disciples higher

 

Yes if only Jesus had amyl nitrates 
And pills
If only he swam through crowds 
Like spawning fish with gills 
If, like the corn he had swayed
To the winds summer's beat
Then perhaps the bible would be different
He wouldn't have been betrayed by Judas
With his callous deceit 

 

The treatment to my soul on that day
Stemmed the rot of slavery 
In my mind I was free
Perhaps what is bad 
Doesn't kill us but heals us?
For I shit you not....

 

On that day I felt like Jesus

    Woof! I'm a watchdog! Should this be marked 18+?
    Erm fine write as a poem. Can't say I agree with it though.

    • Syd

      Sorry Orcidee, I thought I had marked it as 18+. That's fine if you don't agree with it. I don't want to upset any of my Christian friends. It is written from experience though.

        Thanks Syd. My 'watchdog' thing is me being daft partly! I can see what you mean about 'highs'. A couple of people suggested 'have a go at it' in the past. But I dare not. It won\'t do me any good!

      • Syd

        It was marked as 18 + Orcidee. I can't understand why it hasn't shown up as an adult poem.

        I do have to say for a poem it's gets the highest grade in the class. It was written superb. You just got Jesus mixed up with Willie Nelson! Lol

        • Syd

          Ha ha yes Willy Nelson. If only I could change the poem to fit the rhyme. Thanks for reading and leaving feed back.

            I think you may upset a few poets here who seem to be 'devout' christians believing in the words only of a man written mistranslated book.

            Your approach to a christian belief is refreshing, uplifting and surely encouraging in these times of a diminishing belief in the population.

            • Syd

              Thank you for your kind comment. It definitely wasn't my intention to upset anyone, but I always write from the heart. I believe in the freedom of poetry and on that day I was actually telling my friends that I felt like Jesus. Maybe I should calm down a bit lol.

              I'm glad you found the poem uplifting and refreshing.

              Take care - Syd

              Very good write, although I am a believer I can also believe that others could feel like Jesus on any given day and differing circumstances.

              • Syd

                Thank you Goldfinch, as I've mentioned in the comments above, it's not my intention to offend anyone. I'm glad you understand.
