The blood of christ-whiskey chaser

I am a religious
man
irreverent to the
structure
but I drink the
blood of
Christ
I’m too insane to
pass
(you try being
me)

I pray
groans
cries of the
desperate
arrogant
demanding
piss on you
do my bidding
heal my wounds
stop the
bleeding
give me
give me
give me

sorrow
ripping of cloth
bleeding the tears
a self-accused
martyr
of my self serving
cause
but for the grace of
god go
I
but I am
I
and grace may be
enough for
others
but my sins are
felon
and though I drink
the 2000 year old
blood
I still need a whiskey
chaser
