http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/ubbhtml/smile.gif I've done one...(which is not what you meant, I know...but still, what an opportunity for me to yell "Me, too, me, too!!!)

I am particularily proud of this one, seeing as how it is one of a small handful of poems I've managed to get published.

(We now return to you the regularily scheduled program....this has been a short commercial break)

Lo

Messiah

You could be God - had Eve not bitten through
the core, and loos'ed the serpent sleeping there.
She left her mark - a jagged scar in lieu

of faith. You could be God - condemned to wear
humanity sans dignity and pride.
Your lunacy could be the cross you bear.

You could be God - salvation locked inside
temporal walls. The prophets knew, they knew
your name. Your name remains unspoken - bide

your time. You could be God - conceding to
an ancient curse, conceived in shame. The sin
itself is preordained. You rise anew.

You could be God beneath your skin.
God could be You.
