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
