Lovely piece. We need more angry Jesus. Unfortunately whenever one shows up, they’re shunned, ridiculed, and dehumanised for daring challenging convention and the pride of the powerful. Most probably kill themselves or are killed by those they trusted, or jailed unjustly. “What’s left is what you see.” - Bukowski
