Hitler is the shepherd
Jesus was crucified.
Hitler committed suicide.
While the former

to take care.
Hitler is the shepherd
a true leader
living in action.
Jesus has long disappeared
we worship HIM without fail,
especially on Sundays
in big mansions.

Though he is not a practising Christian, he was upset… Read more »
yes i saw all this in the poem, and i agree you should not use cruel etc, and yes there is worship in buildings contrary to the teachings this is probably part of the game keeping theories open to interpretations about practically everyone and probably even the Son of God. who did it? and what are we supposed to do with various scenarios about everything starting from the existence of God – any god – to our own reality – does even this actually exist? Ubik and the Man in the High Castle. i recommend especially the second you will… Read more »
