Blackpowder Jesus: The Sundance Wives Ministry

imagine an
ancient priest
discovering black powder,
that's all Jesus was, a magician,
he tossed black powder in the fire,
it exploded in a flash of light,

imagine The
Sundance Wives,
a pyrotechnic Foursome
buttressed by powerful
feats, lesbian ministry in
a strategic time, rebellion
with the explosive assurance
the cosmic universe is on our side,

Jesus' staff
became a snake
when Aaron cast it
upon the ground, species
of the Egyptian cobra,

Moses pitched
a tent outside the
Tabernacle to speak
with God, smoke and sparks,
black powder again,

Joseph Smith,
founder of Mormonism,
a necromancer used divining
rod and seer stone to find gold,
silver and Indian treasure, he discovered
The Book of Mormon,

a century ago,
Madame Blavatsky
founder of Theosophy
claimed her magick, Hermetic
Order of the Golden Dawn,

Blackpowder Jesus,
The Sundance Wives Ministry
blackpowder healers where miracles
are mere magic anvil on the altar.
