Paul Andrews Poet Rhyme

Dear Mr Jesus

Dear Mr Jesus
I thought I’d write to you 
You see there is this problem 
And I wasn’t sure what to do.

There are madmen with weapons 
Wrecking the whole place
It seems they’re drunk on power 
And I’m worried for the human race.

They’re killing lots of people 
Far too many to count
What they’re doing isn’t what you taught 
In the Sermon on the Mount.

Sorry to be bothering you 
It really wasn’t my intention 
But things are getting serious 
And we need some divine intervention.

Rachel Treacher March 28, 2026 at 12:39 AM I loved this! It has a childlike simplicity that adds a quiet weight to this huge message and plea for a hope of peace. Thank you for posting it. Paul Andrews March 29, 2026 at 3:42 PM I'm very glad you liked this piece/peace, Rachel. As a species, we haven't really progressed very far over thousands of years - we've just gotten better at killing each other! As the Beatles said, all you need is love. Cheers, Paul.
