Frackin' Sid
Friday, 18 May 2012
So, Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed are
sitting in a bar
but it doesn't really matter where
they are
Jesus looks up at the TV
"I suppose y'all blame me."
Buddha just looked at his drink
Mohammed opened his mouth then paused to think
"No time for finger pointing,"
Jesus added glumly
His forehead annointing
with ice as Buddha sat dumbly
gazing at 12-year old scotch
Mohammed got restless, looked at his watch
"We'd better get going
the traffic is slowing."
"Mo, what's your hurry?"
Jesus' voice slightly slurry
"They aren't going anywhere,
what do you care?"
So, Mo looked to Buddha
and said, "What about you, Sid?"
Shrugging with the calm of a dude, a
mellow beatnik adjusted his lid
and simply raised his glass.
"You're a pain in the ass,"
said Mohammed angrily
"Eventually...
Momentarily...
said Jee
and called for more wine
"We've got time
why stand in line
with the rest of the slime
primordial
to uncordial
in the blink of an eye."
"Why won't you try
to find resolution
put an end
to all this confusion?"
"My old friend
you said
the operative word
we've led
but no one has heard
'End' - it's a world without
defend and fight an unwinnable bout
violent lout
or passive monk
it makes no difference."
"A billion lives sunk 
in pain and ignorance -
is that not enough?"
"10 billion ten billions,"
Jee said in a huff
"Is just the beginning
as all these poor humans
continue their sinning."
"If light's measured in lumens
and there's uncountable stars
then what percentage are these
drinking in bars?"
Buddha chimed in
summing up with a grin
"It's the unknown fraction
whose voice will gain traction
you can't solve the problem with your mathematics
it's an equation for which there are no schematics."

They both turned and said
"Frack you, Sid."
Not quite in unison
but not far apart.
