PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Be gone, Rabbi, nor interfere again.
What had they done, them pigs, what was their sin
against you that you could not leave them be?
Now get you hence. Go back to Galilee---

we hear they still appreciate your pearls
of wit, there.  Preach to hicks and barefoot girls,
tax men and harlots---all those have believed
your words.  Around here, we are not deceived.

One question, though---was that man's life so fine,
so meaningful, you had to drown our swine
to save him?  Did you not compute the cost
of wasting hogs to spare a man that lost?

We do not want you here, despite your powers.
Your values just are not the same as ours.
