As It Turns Out Jesus Was Real

As it Turns Out Jesus Was Real By David J Walker It turns out that my Atheists friends were all wrong Jesus is real And he hangs on a cross-street Walk don’t walk light Downtown Near the Salvation Army hall Where hungry children meet And pick crumbs from his beard He said he had not eaten And I fed him That’s when his name I recalled But they killed him And he was gone It turns out that Gandhi was an angel of God Sent from India And took into his embrace The children of every race And religious belief Of every season And loved for loves sake For any reason Except hate So they killed him And he was gone It turns out that Buddha Was more than wise In his Sutta middle path to compromise In life’s extremes Between good and bad And Young and old Go and be bold he told them But he died of Pork and wild truffles And he was gone It turns out my Friends were all wrong There is a light shining in The darkness And it comes to me At night In my sleep Singing psalms And leaving gifts of Manna With the names of too whom it belongs And where I may find them at dawn I will try before They are gone
