I’m not the messiah.. (he’s a…)

     By jfarrell

(thank you, monty python)

I am not the messiah;

I hope you know that….

I too stupid to be anything other than honest.

Instead of wallowing here, in this hole…

I could sweet-talk old ladies outta their savings;

But that would make me feel bad.

A way with words is, apparently, the only real skill I have;

And for someone who doesn’t talk a lot,

I can be very careless with words.

I could easily make a suicide cult :)

But I imagine the pay is disappointing;

And the perks… shagging everything I want

Not really me,

Though,sometimes, I sorely wish it was;

Everyone, die on my command.

I can see how that would appeal.

You read my ramblings

And I feel, YES, I AM, but I don’t want the job.

Why do you read me?

I am nothing, a mote upon the wind of the cosmos;

But so many of you read my stuff

And say nice things;

And, sometimes, scarey things?

Please tell me why, I am nothing.
