Chapter 13

Thereupon the multitude
screamed out to Him, ²saying
“the tabloids said you changed
your face, that must mean
you’re
a very ³special person, and,
like, know a lot .”
⁴Whereupon He responded:
What about sunrise
⁵What about rain
⁶What about all the
things
⁷That you said we were
to gain...
⁸What about killing fields
⁹Is there a time
¹⁰What about all the things
¹¹That you said was yours
and mine...
¹²Did you ever stop to notice
¹³All the blood we've shed
before
¹⁴Did you ever stop to notice
¹⁵The crying Earth the
weeping shores?⁺
And the multitude ¹⁶screamed and
whistled and shouted for ¹⁷Him
to proceed,
Because they ¹⁸dug what he was
saying,
Since it was so ¹⁹heavy and right on.
