The Soldier Guard At the Tomb

I was silently watching the two Mary’s sigh and cry, When the earthquake hit and I just wanted to cover, The ground nearly parted and there was no-one to chi, I hit the deck for stones from the tomb threw over. Covering my head with my hands and laying tight up, I was aware of the two Mary’s moving over speedily, To the tomb stone to take advantage of the windup, Which just contributed to the terror weighing heavily. After six minutes it ceased, and peace did administer, The two of them were straight at the caster right in there, But I needed another while to recover from the disaster, So just sat looking firstly at the grass, then over there. By the time I got them they’d given the body determinedly, To the gardener who already had lit it and was fanning it, So I ran as fast as a chicken away from a fox very quickly, Up the mountain to get my head straight to think about it. I worked it out that I had to talk with the two Mary’s, Because I also appreciated what Jesus did when alive,   Since he had cured my cousin from quadriplegic paralysis, Such that this cousin’s possibility was now to thrive. So I did decide to accept Mary’s plans of ingenuity, For the continuation of her son’s work with the poor, Which would change medical services directivity, From the rich monopoly over to with anyone to moor. The two woman’s plans would ignite a movement, Start a Society, organisation or group to proclaim,   That the way to live was through love’s enrichment, Not by class prized, but by living everyday in His name. So we talked, and the two women promised me silence, About my failure to keep the stone which sealed the tomb, If I kept silence about them having a stealing licence, And about their real physical action of removing the womb. So that was how the resurrection myth took off, started, That was how it began, it did come from two parties, From the Roman soldier representing the state above, And from Jesus’ kin representing the people’s armies. I don’t think Christianity would’ve occurred without, The soldier man Roman guard of the tomb believing, In Jesus plight and in the right of a movement, shout, About Jesus, through the religion of Christianity aging.
