Thorny Destiny

Some say he's a prophet others swear he's the son of God some say he was just a man still others say he never existed at all. I think he was the original hippie a supreme giver -who taught takers how to give without motive how to love without condition to ask for forgiveness after sin. Jesus would have stowed away on slave ships salving hope and snapping chains. He'd have blocked the ovens of Auschwitz volunteered at no kill animal shelters and food pantries. He would've made manna out of bullet casings... arrested again, again and again for weaving a giant peace sign and rosary draping them over the pentagon, Kremlin and the forbidden city- He'd share wineskin, a bowl of Mexican gold then lie down under tie-dyed sky and dream. It was really never meant to be... the prince of peace was hammered into thorny eternity.
