Gentle Jesus Meek and Wild

Parents will create blame-shaped holes
in their offspring's lives,
into which to pour themselves
for long term, very cold storage.

Any child or parent who claims
not to have a blame shaped hole
is either a politician or psychopath,
there not much space between the two states.

So far so Victorian. Parents then
saw Jesus as they saw children
-both were there to be owned
via lethal levels of disinterest
and competitive sentimentality.

But the Jesus saw children as he saw himself,
because they were his neighbours.
They deserved to be engaged with,
much more than denied or ignored
or distracted through entertainment.
