Guest Blog Poem: What would Jesus Do?

What would Jesus do about Health Care for all?

How would Allen Ginsberg write it?  Or an angry Gertrude Stein.  Or Hunter Thompson?

I received the rant-poem from a teacher and videographer who retired, moved to southern Oregon, and, decided that patience and mild talk was for people who had a lot of time, and he didn't.  He decided to stop all pussyfooting around and just write what he feels.

"What Would Jesus Do? First, some tricks to get attention---walk on water, turn water to wine---then get down to walking the highways and byways casting out demons, laying on of hands, commanding people to pick up and walk and not worry about the costs and law suits since he had no money to lose in court. And then he did SNAP by multiplying fishes for the hungry at no cost or worry about bills. And then they crucified him---but then he rose again and went straight up.

So who’s afraid of the costs? Those with money. Those who know how to bilk money from others. Those who have health insurance already. Those who have shoes on their feet and a dentist.

I know what those people think.  Comfortable people. Some people deserve to die. Some people deserve to go bankrupt. Some people deserve to live in the street. Some people are just plain toothless. Some people are just nuts. What can you do? They are all high, breed like rabbits, have so many husbands and little bastards. Lepers. Retarded. Overweight diabetics. Shit humanity living in shitholes. They need to eat more fruit.  

Suffer the little children. And that frigging takes a lot of frigging money."
