-I-
Blood is gushing out of... my eyes.
Blood is gushing out of... my nose.
Blood is gushing out of... my every hole,
my every pore.
Blood is gushing out of... my ass.
For blood
is all I have left
to give to the world,
I give
it profusely.
Blood is gushing out of my palms.
-II-
My life unfolds.
Yet another gospel
is being
written.
Yet another Messiah
is getting crucified,
on the cross
of indifference.
Sullied by
the very world
he is meant to
purify.
Bewildered by
the very
people
he is meant to guide.
I am the true Messiah
of all lost hopes,
of all lost causes.
August 1996
