An Other-Worldly Suggestion for the Pope


              The other day I overheard
                 one alien say to another

              The Pope would opt for peace on earth
                 if he had his druthers

               So, in his Easter address to the planet’s nations
                 he’d be wise to advise ~ every earthling’s deportation

A lonely man the Pope would be, if everyone took a flee. No one to listen to his addressing, or to receive his blessings … Beryl

I notice when he advocates for world peace, he always calls out one side of the equation, Zelenskyy, Trump -- never publicly points a finger at Putin, China and Iran. A lot of posturing will accomplish nothing. The Pope needs to take bigger risks. How I see it.

Yes, only if humankind would be deported would there be peace, however, even then the animals still would be fighting until Jesus comes to bring a peace that passes understanding with Him. I really like this one. I wonder if they will televise the pope's Easter Sunday's message. Sara K
