Poem Title:
Poem
""As I lay silent, burden free I asked the world to join with me With my tongue planted firmly in my cheek I offered answers for the poor and meek Beware the guilt ridden, for theirs is the earthly kingdom where starved and thirsty creatures come to drink from a Fountain not of their making, but will forever be offered them just the same. I asked my brothers to forgive a harmless illusion instead it was me the Romans chose to shun. I asked my brothers to know the one true Boss instead they strung me high up on this...well you know... Because I held such a controversial stance My 'church' made certain nothing was left to chance They warped my endless love and set my words on fire......"" For this next rhyme, I think I'll go with 'desire'. Hell no I'm not Jesus, I never said I was. I'm only pretending I know what he would say, just because sooner or later his real message has to be heard I'm just doing my part by spreading the word Hopefully I got it right but probably not I'm no visionary, I'm just tired of being a robot I have no idea what Jesus would say... I write bad poems since I never learned to pray I don't know what would Jesus do... Every time I ask him, all I hear is 'I love you'.
