Wonderful! The idea of doing this as a performance boggles the grey stuff. So many unexpected images that contrast the peace loving Buddhist stereo-types. Very funny quirky Hollywood meets Buddhism in combat. I couldn't begin to give you advice as a performance piece -- one would have to see it to believe it!!!
I must read it a few more times.
Great!

wow - an incredibly powerful piece - the ref. to war poets -froth-corrupted lungs i found very poignant - i am sure there are other refs. but my poetry is limited to O-level. I think this would be marvellous as a performance - brilliant title. All in the name of god! Juliet

Good work Tim, I can imagine you performing this one well. As usual. How do you manage to learn them all? (Stereotype is one word Chris - just in case you refer to it in class at some point).

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your feedback too, Juliet - when I first set out to write it I thought it'd be a 'straight' comic poem, but I hope now it's a bit darker than that. Personally, I find the idea of killer Buddhists weirdly disturbing.
