Would you weep for Jesus on a high wheel
pedaling through the walking mall
passed the butcher’s window,
raw meat born again?
Would you believe in resurrection
or tie your shoes on the town wire
if you saw the savior cycle
over cobblestones,
one lone Dorgi
for a faithful companion?
Would you fall to your knees,
pray daily, if he blessed the
gun shop, then the smoke shop
and all the American children
along his route?
How would you greet the crown
if he rode a high wheel through your town?

I thought you were talking about the British Crown taking over. I would be okay with that!

My online friends in the UK report that their government is just as corrupt as ours is, so why not join the UK? We are, after all, the same people. Our early history remembered.

Hi John, it was in the late night poets programming to cover art of this nature. I actually get a lot of inspiration from their contests for radio shows.

What an odd image! I love what you did with the verses and how they relate directly to the painting. You ask some valid questions. What would I do? I have no idea.
