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

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