Savior?

By soloiq

Have you read his book?
his symbol was a cross
spoke of peace
fed the hungry
tried to be the boss
died of his own free will
lost a bit of blood
had dealings with the Jews
who consider his name Mudd
said to be in prophecy
quite the famous guy
others said he was crazy
why do the innocent die?
most his pictures show
hair upon the face
wanted  people pure
his body left no trace
brought the biggest war
many a last breath
people sent to burn
even after death
planned an earthly kingdom
lasting a thousand years
all must believe and follow
beware of your peers !
he loved his mother
wasn't a father
you can call him brother
I wouldn't bother
these facts aren't here
just to tease us
they make you think
Hitler is Jesus

    You know what? As a poet ESPECIALLY here on DP we HAVE to be open minded for everyones expressive arts' and this here is proff of that for me... I believe in you as a fellow poet, you have talent, and I'm a fan even though I love me some GOD... Thats' probly how people feel when they read my work called Come here little girl... but it is what it is and I love it! Scholar

    Wow...well done! I had a pretty good idea where it was going, and then the ending game out of nowhere and it all fit together. I had to read it twice.

    I reread it since I had a problem with it, but loved the structure, language and overall idea of it. Had to do with The Führer Myth, and the fear factor as mind killer. But I missed a centered point in your poem: "beware of your peers ! " so for me it is perfect. Loved it.
