Total Denial. Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

If the Messiah came again.
He would be certified insane.

Society could not possibly
allow him to preach and teach freely

I have no doubt he’d be confined
Because the powers that be would find.

That what he taught was dangerous
To every single one of us.

The rulers of the church and state
are not prepared to tolerate.

Any change to existing rules
which for years they’ve used as tools

To maintain the Status Quo
They do not want us all to know

They lack divine authority
They are not what they claim to be.

The guardians of morality
and keepers of the mystery.

They know the truth would set us free.
Of course they could not possibly.

Accept the fact that he might be
the ultimate authority.

They would decree that he must be
kept in protective custody.

No need for crucifixion.
Their method is a kinder one.

Keep him sedated constantly
which would work as effectively.

With no adverse publicity
Just dealt with bureaucratically.

We cannot say with certainty
The messiah is not presently.

Held in some institution
quite unknown to anyone.

Except perhaps the powers that be
Who act unjustly secretly.
