There is a story behind this piece. Someone was upset because they posted a poem on a site which crashed and they did not have a back up copy of it. The title of the poem was 'Zombie Jesus". I said a poem with a title like "Zombie Jesus" should write itself and every poet probably has one somewhere in their notebooks. The response to that was, "Oh yeah, I guess you could write a Zombie Jesus poem in a couple minutes." I can't turn down a challange like that. Now I wish I could have started with a better title, but you work with what you have. Zombie Jesus, my version. There may be different poems under the same title. Caught by icey handed Zombie Jesus, the Savior not to save, but to freeze us. Regret and repentance will come too late. to those who waste life with fighting and hate, who strike at brothers with malice and greed, time will overcome before they will heed the living God who walks as the living dead, ready to forgive and then crush your head. |

Thank you. I am practicing Iambic Pentameter as preparation for a long epic. Diversions like this help. |

Well, you caught my attention and kept it. Was it okay to laugh at the end? (God, I hope so, cause I did). I really enjoyed your Zombie Jesus. Alison |

Certainly it is ok to laugh. The author of the original "Zombie Jesus" had no sense of humor, which is a crippling burden for a poet. |
