And Those Magi...? Poem by Chuy Amante

what's up with
three magi
showing up
at a jewish birthday party?

it took them years to
get there on slow camels

and to think of their
political incorrectness...

they gave the kid gold
and incense and stuff

don't Magi do magic
tricks at parties?

I hope they used some
persian good stuff
and fooled all those
children of Abraham

they knew by the stars,
those dang arabs could
read those babies,
when the messiah king
was born

He fulfilled the old law,
the 613 laws that nobody
could get perfect,
and presented the new
enLIGHTened ONE
of LOVE
the changing of the
war god
to the god of life,
Light, Love, The end
of suffering

who do we cling to?
