Color Syndrome

Secretly once I met Jesus in a place 
Where currents are calm 
And wind did not blow 
In a voce sotto I invited him 
To visit this place second time 
Where souls are dead 
And dead men are walking.  
And I apologized 
On behalf of the race of man
For the injustice inflicted upon him 1st time 
Gave him an assurance too 
Let not anything happen to him 
But he says, I am too frightened 
To descend after seeing how my followers 
Hate and abhor the people who are brown.
