MESSIAH

 

BY 

 

FRANK A VOLLMER

 

 

 

 

WHERE IS MESSIAH

 

IN POLAND

IN WARSAW

IN THE JEWISH CEMETERY

IN ONE OF THE TOMBS

A WOMAN GAVE BIRTH
 

HER ONLY ATTENDANT

THE CARETAKER

WHO WAS HIDING TOO

 

HE SAID

PERHAPS THIS ONE IS THE MESSIAH

BORN SO LOWLY

DESPISED

 SPIT UPON

PERHAPS HE IS THE MESSIAH

THE CHRISTIAN MESSIAH

HAS BROUGHT US NO PEACE

 BUT HE WATCHED HIS DREAM FADE

AS THE CHILD

SUCKED ON HIS MOTHER’S TEARS 

HER BREASTS WERE DRY 

THE CHILD

SUCKED ON HIS MOTHER’S TEARS

FINALLY HE DIED
 

EVENTUALLY

THEY WERE FOUND

THEY WENT UP IN SMOKE

THE NEARBY VILLAGERS

SMELLED THE SMOKE

THEY KNEW WHAT IT WAS

THEIR HOMES STANK OF IT

THEY CALLED IT

JEWISH PERFUME

IN A WORLD

STILL PLAGUED

BY WAR

HUNGER

 HATRED

 

CAN WE NOT SAY 

WHERE IS MESSIAH

SNOW

 

FIFTEEN THOUSAND CHILDREN

WERE INCARCERATED

IN TEREZIN CONCENTRATION CAMP

ONLY ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO

OF THOSE CHILDREN

WERE KNOWN TO HAVE SURVIVED

 

LIKE SNOW THEY FELL

GRAY SNOWFLAKES

BLANKING ALL AS SNOW WILL

THEY WERE BITS OF SKIN

INCINERATED SKIN

THAT THE CHIMNEYS

BELCHED FORTH

LIKE A SNOW MACHINE

ON A SKI SLOPE

BUT SNOW NEVER SMELT

LIKE BURNT FLESH

SNOW WAS WHITE

LIKE THE FAUX SNOW

AROUND THE CRÈCHE

WHERE THE CHRIST CHILD LAY

BEING SERENADED

WITH STILLE NACHT

THE CHRIST CHILD

THE KING OF THE JEWS

WHILE HS SUBJECTS

WENT UP IN SMOKE

SILENT NIGHT

SILENT NIGHT

WHILE HIS SUBJECTS

SCREAMED LOUDLY

WHEN THE SHOWER TURNED DEADLY

CAN WE BLAME THOSE

WHO CREATED THIS SHOAH

CERTAINLY

BUT TO BE FAIR

WE SHOULD ALSO BLAME THE CHURCH

THAT PREACHED CHRIST KILLERS

FOR TWO THOUSAND YEARS

RELIGION

WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO HELP MAN

LIVE IN RELATION

TO HIS BROTHERS

SO OFTEN

SHOWS HATE

IN FACT

THE FIRST RELIGIOUS SQUABBLE

WAS WHEN CAIN KILLED ABEL

THE JEWS WERE CONSIDERED

A NON-PEOPLE

CURSED BY GOD

THEY WERE A HANDY SCAPEGOAT

WHEN THINGS WENT BAD

FROM INDIVIDUALS UP TO THE STATE

THEY WERE SCAPEGOATS

WHEN THINGS WENT WRONG

THEY WERE THE LEAST

 

IN CONTRADICTION TO CHRIST TEACHING

THEY WERE NOT TREATED KINDLY

BUT AS CHRIST’S BODY

THEY WERE

BEATEN

STARVED

KILLED

BURNT

WHILE PIOUSITIES

POURED OUT

FROM PULPITS

 THIS IS MY BODY

FLOATING IN THE AIR LIKE SNOW

THIS IS MY BLOOD

BEATEN FROM MY BODY

  THE EARTH CRIES OUT

WHO IS MY BROTHER

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 

 

 

 

 

 

RACHAEL'S CHILDREN

 

IS THERE EVER A GOOD TIME

FOR GOD TO BE BORN

IS THERE EVER A TIME

THAT WILL NOT CAUSE PAIN

 HE OFTEN THOUGHT THESE THOUGHTS

SITTING WITH THE WOMEN

WHOSE CHILDREN

HEROD HAD SLAIN

 A THING HE DID OFTEN

ON HIS BIRTHDAY

 OH NOW THEY WERE CONSOLED

YEARS AND A LIFE LATER

DON'T COME THE TEMPTER HAD SAID

OILY VOICED AS USUAL

PRAISING EVIL NOT AS BAD BUT GOOD

OR EXPEDIENT

DON'T COME NOW

 BUT THE EARTH WAS GROANING IN LABOR

AS THE EARTH

IS ALWAYS GROANING IN LABOR

THERE IS ALWAYS NEED

FOR GOD TO BE BORN

 SO THE WOMEN WERE CONTENT

TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE

 BUT EACH ONE FELT

A HOLLOWNESS OF YEARS

THAT HE COULD

BUT COULD NOT FILL

 NOR CALL BACK

THE WAIL OF RACHEL

 THE WAIL OF RACHEL

FOR HER CHILDREN

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

(Romans 10:12) WHO WEARS MY SHOES

 

 

 

WHO WEARS MY SHOES

NOW THAT I AM DEAD

AND HAVE GONE UP IN SMOKE

SHOES MY MOTHER BOUGHT

FOR HER SON

TO BE PROUD OF HIM

WHEN HE WENT TO TEMPLE

WHO WEARS MY SHOES

PLACED NEATLY ON A SHELF

WITH STOCKINGS TUCKED INSIDE

 TO BE FILLED AFTER

AFTER WHAT

WHEN MOSES

MET YAHWEH

HE WAS TOLD

REMOVE YOUR SHOES

THIS IS SACRED GROUND

 AM I GOING TO SACRED GROUND

WILL THE SMOKE TAKE ME TO HEAVEN

WHERE THERE IS NEITHER

JEW OR GENTILE

ONLY G-D’S CHILDREN

 WHOEVER GETS MY SHOES

WEAR THEM PROUDLY

FOR I AM

ONE OF G-D’S

CHOSEN
