JM,
"Buddha, wearing straw sandals, was caught
on CCTV cameras in Arizona, racially profiled."
Seems as though an "and" is needed after Arizona. He was caught...and racially profiled.
The third wise-man had to be Jesus to round out the big three. Plus he spent a long weekend (hanging around), three days would be a long weekend, before he "slid up to Heaven". I like the beatnik vibe in that last line.
He is the only one I can think of that can represent both Jews and Christians, which would fit the lines "ignoring the growing desert storms,
the current situation in Jerusalem." Plus how could you have Christmas without him. Yeah I know it's not really his birthday, but most people think it is. Imagine those Catholic leaders changing his birthday to the Winter Solstice just to get more pagan followers. Isn't there something kind of perverse about that. Willing to base your religion willingly on false ideas just to "grow your church". WWJD?

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
