The End Is Nigh, Pour A Whiskey
Seven poems by Dash MacIntyre on religion, prophesy, and how the end is coming.
The Thing About Jesus
the thing about jesus is that he’s billed as the savior
of all mankind because he died on a cross
as if it were some ultimately painful death in sacrifice for our sins
but let’s be honest
being crucified as far as punishments go isn’t really that bad
like for sure it sucks but
there are much more memorable ways to suffer
like prometheus of another mythology
chained to a mountain and every single day
an eagle comes and tears out his organs with its beak
and it has been happening for thousands of years
and it happened today and yesterday and all throughout the 80s
and will happen tomorrow and the day after and so on forever.
in fact
to hype up jesus’s measly crucifixion from town to town in every land
is merely unimaginative in that ancient empire
