Put Down the Gun

Put Down the Gun
 

 
Can you picture Christ
in a Mexican standoff?
 
proud,                              i get why proud has to be there 3 times.. still visually seems a little much to me.
proud,
proud,
in triangulated crossfire            triangulated for a  pun on trinity.. or is god contradicting his own "parts"?
or triune, stubborn fear?              "stubborn" i didn´t quite see, but interesting thought, fear unites.
 
Are you so cold
you would not also give up your cloak
of right?                                   oh stupid me, asking again: what right, how does it cloak (and maybe even what)?           
 
You have become pagan            "pagan"...  any faith (and atheism too) is pagan in other views.. but that´s just me tainting the read.  if i try to read it from a christian point of view then the line does make sense in its accusation
in your celebrations;                  i like the thought how the celebrations feel off in their purpose
a hoarder of ghosts                                      
crusading for heavier loin cloths                   great line
and scratching your balls all day.             ahem .. wouldn´t that endanger the success of the crusade?
 
What's the book on misdirection?                   
 
Can you even read
with your hands full of hate
and eyes of lead?                                    

i´m afraid i don´t even understand half of the content you have packed into this poem, liked it though, from the punching start to the weighted end.
also, this is in fun (though it seemed quite serious to me) .. and here i am trying to flesh it apart..sorry
