Antichrist

Throughout my life
I’ve heard all types
of different people
called the antichrist.

Rasputin, Hitler, Elvis,
Johnny Rotten, Faldwell,
Reagan, Clinton, hell,

even Emanuel Lewis.

Their influence
troubled some
similar to the ones that
have overreacted to
the Cross of St. Peter.

Inverted interpretations
of an unworthiness,
a false belief of possibility.

Maybe it’s been the Popes,
the devil worshipers,
the generals, a mother of one.

A type of transfiguration,
a basilica to a

Christmas Day tomb.
