Ode on the Identity of Jesus

To the Marxist he is the great liberator, not of sin but poverty and oppression
To Bultmann his life is shrouded in myth, with its miracles, diabolic possession
To Teilhard he will permeate every being, as the end of a cosmic evolution
To the Situationist who acts out of love, he supports the state laws dissolution
To the Feminists he is a social reformer, who lead Magdalene to emancipation
To the Cults he is a superstar or healer, who calls them to form a new nation
To the Muslims he is only a prophet, anything else mere Christian inventions
To the Evangelical he is their Saviour, to be sung about and sold at conventions
To the Historians he is considered a rabbi, killed as a danger to the Jewish state
But to Catholics he is the Son of God, of Mary, Redeemer and Judge of their fate
