to the nuclear christ in benediction or a Passion play parody

the canticle we worry for 220 Amp service
strikes at us in the crucifixion of the nuclear christ

the Roman jabs to His offence that power must be
tells the corporate Pharisee His birth had not won
an argument for the central glory supply side economy

Tom and Pat Lawson engrave His cross
before the crown is put upon His head
with arguments in transient science
finalities of sentience and memory structured skein

while followers weep for the fishes and loaves
they did not bring to the gathering
putting all their faith in His magesty
but none in their own

Odd says help no one and love not your neighbor
the Lawson truth upholds the wounding
his crown to the fold

take piece and spread concentration
that the message of Odd may never be
but regret of his governance where
the effect to man Pontius did know

but in piety the Lawsons did weep
to strike the first blow with the soldier's hand
telling none that this pain in fire
could the unravelling of ideology free

soldiers carry on knife in the sheaf
while mass destruction soldiers on
and peace keeps itself clean
wearing the crown without blood
