They’ve got Jesus in Guantanamo
I heard the news on Fox,
The son of God is languishing
In an eight by eight mesh box.

The second coming’s cancelled
It went down at JFK
When two homeland security operatives
Dragged the saviour away.

They said he fit the profile:
“A middle eastern man,
No passport and no baggage,
Dressed in a white Caftan“.

They’re adamant he’s guilty
They’re just not sure of what
But they’re holding him without a trial
Until he gives them what he’s got.

There are rumours of rendition,
Which I’m pretty sure are true,
And it’s likely to be extraordinary
When Yahweh’s dad is through.

You Grinch, enjoyed your poem. Sharp...and sarcastic. Who lives in Guantanamo?

Grinch,

There you go pal. I like it to bits and pieces.

A keeper.

It needs to stay at the top for some time. If nothing else, it might stir some inner thoughts.
