Open Wide the Eye of the Needle

Open Wide The Eye Of The Needle

The eye of the needle is enormously large
It is made for camels to go through                 
Jesus tells us how easy it is                    
The very rich, when they grow up, enter
Pay for their passage into heaven
With lots of money invested in gyms
Simply becoming very thin is their solution
Everything fits with a little effort
The wealthy think they can buy anything
Special diets and medicine help them win
Gain favor with God through vast resources 
Camels enter the needle first
Followed by the elite and aristocrats
Poor people don’t need heaven since they are fat
God doesn’t need slackers in the after life
Someone has to remain on Earth
To make more babies to serve the real needy
Rich people going through the needle won’t be easy
