God's Modest Son

Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson, God’s modest son,
that full-bloodied Christian replete with a gun

who last got his kicks flagellating Christ
(because a violence-free movie would not have sufficed)
has now got his teeth into the Mayan apocalypse
– a subject that could simply fry every synapse –

and with a million quid paid to film in Hurricane Wilma’s
Mexican aftermath, hopes are not high that the Australian filmer’s
intentions are anything other than dinning
into the audience his own version of sinning.

Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson, God’s modest son,
that full-bloodied Christian replete with a gun.

Does he know that apocalypse means new beginning?
