Gospel

send a messiah,
a handsome blue-eyed hero,
a wise-worded miracle maker
with vulnerabilities
that run off our backs like water,
forgotten at the hand of the next writer;
divinity who patiently sews together
an everyman's problems,
asking for no pay but a loyal follower;
one to rid the country and a world
of hungry mites and dust
pushed under presidents' persian rugs,
unafraid to do what's right
in spite of wealthy condemnations;

superman or jesus will do.
