Bullets Of Brave Pride

Jeff lingers outside crowded country bar,
watching semi-trucks zoom on the highway,
because his friends mocked him with joshing sneers
when he insisted they call him Godefridus
for his namesake who conquered Jerusalem
as Advocate of the Holy Sepulcher.

We modern Americans have lost touch
with our roots in Rome and Jerusalem
as heirs to ancient traditions of honor
that Sons of Jesus established with power,
assigned by Jupiter in Halls of Heaven
to unite the world in Kingdom of Christ.

Driving motorcycle down the highway
past endless fields of golden shining corn,
that gleam on light of the metallic moon,
Jeff ponders what bold action he could take
to help expand global Kingdom of Christ
by eliminating all false religions.

No longer can I ride the great white horse,
dressed in shining armor of righteousness,
to fight infidels in holy crusade
by wielding sharp-honed sword named Durendal
that brave Orlando wielded to defend
Kingdom of Christ from evil Saracens.

With fury of Orlando I assert
divine right to enforce grand reign of Jesus
for he is noble Emperor of Earth
who rules as his descendants in the flesh
since they bear Holy Grail of his bloodline,
Arthur, Charlemagne, and William the Mighty.

Loading rifle with bullets of brave pride,
Jeff drives motorcycle in city streets
to stand before the Mosque of Gotham City
where he shouts God is Great and shoots at devils
disguised as humans who scream in surprise
as they flee before holy wraith of Jesus.

Aiming pistol at head of the cruel shooter,
Sergeant Gottfried demands he drop the gun,
but shoots when Jeff aims rifle at his chest,
which knocks hostile murderer on the ground
who shouts that he is doing work of God
as he sinks into mindless gloom of death.

Descending from Heaven on wings of fire,
Azrael, with seventy thousand eyes,
bears soul of Jeff down to caverns of Hell
so he kneels trembling before iron throne
where Persephone makes him lowly slave
of Farah, whom he killed, for eternity.

Orpheus and Jesus relax on the porch of Olympus and laugh as they watch Farah make Jeff crawl on hands and knees while he barks in fear.
