" Jesus Christ Rock Star"
by:Carol Grimsley
He wants to be a rock star and
he wants to be their savior
His people think he's Jesus Christ
His blood red wine to savor.
Nailed to his stage
with his friends he's had to carry
He has no one left to turn to
He has no Virgin Mary
His lover is a temple
But he has not prayed in ages
His life's a blur of parables
Blinding lights and wooden stages.
His friends scream out "Crusify!"
But that is just as well.
Success has made him what he is
Trapped inside a living hell
No one can hear him crying
As the guitar strings tear his skin
They never hear him screaming
As the devils tempting him.
More Than Mortal , but still a man
Leapers screaming at his gate
Whores wash his feet with their hair
He'd love to quit but fears their fate.
