A hollow womb
An empty tomb
The child is wreathed in swaddling clothing
His black billowing robes
A garbage bag
Sealed and crowned with a knot
he's a discarded savior in a manger
An aluminum bin clad in rust
oxydizing in stangnant air
Asphyxiating
The child savior in the manger
Lies beside the pepsi can
Unredeemable
Non-recyclable
Unworthy of your five extra cents
Born of the "born-again" virgin
He has been unmade
And thus cannt be made into
Something more
Something
Greater
He has reached the peak of his expectations
A simple complex of flesh and veins
A twisted membrane
The fallen savior in his manger
Is a blood clot
Flesh devoid of bone
A Metal throne
Alone
And...
Forgotten.
