christian drama week

forget the fact that the
“prophecies”
written in the “old testament”
just happen to be
“fulfilled”
in the “new testament,”
because the writers of the
“second book”
read the first one &
just created a character that
would follow suit,
like a badly written sequel
to a b-movie.

but for those who believe that
the fiction is true,
this week brings the
“betrayal!”
this week brings the “blood!”
this week brings the
“sacrifice!”

and the
DRAMA
DRAMA
DRAMA
that believers need
in order to cover up the fact that
they have no special meaning at all,
just like the rest of us,
it comes in with the little plants in their hands
on “palm sunday”
&
it leaves with the boiled colored eggs on
“easter.”

what would these desperate individuals be
without their drama?
what would they fill their mundane lives with
if they had no stories to believe?
what would they do if they had no second act to
run to?
what would they do
if they had to dwell in the nothingness with the rest of
us?

maybe, just maybe,
they’d stop trying to convert & make people believe
their story---
maybe, just maybe,
they’d stop trying to silence or kill those who don’t
believe their story,
maybe, just maybe,
they’d live for today &
take responsibility for their own lives.
