Jesus Came Riding On a Donkey

Donkey’s in the land of Israel in the 1st century, Were used to carry goods about the country, But could also carry women, children and the ill, Because they were strong and quiet, did chill. So when Jesus entered Jerusalem on that day, On the Sunday before his crucifixion, away, He deliberately chose a donkey to ride on, To communicate effectively, with abbreviation. A donkey was premium to the professions, The areas industry’s for selling productions, Which depended on donkeys for transportation, For their future and reputation’s momentum. So Jesus was saying by riding that donkey, That he was key to the wave that they did see, That how his death was remembered, thought, Would determine the legacy that he’d wrought. Also, he assumed a sensitivity by that ride, A vulnerability that he had and he felt inside, Because he took the place of a fragile person, Suggesting that memories were your liaison. So he won and achieved a triumphant entry,  Because he proclaimed himself Christianity, And that, just like a child, he needs lifted up, Onto the donkey, where there’s a warm cup.
