Poetry: Cherished Beyond The Fable

Jesus wept for the children
They say he died for you and I
Sitting here on the corner though
I can't see why he might have made that sacrifice
There's no peace on Earth
No good will for men
No feast upon the table
No gifts underneath the Christmas tree
For all who cherish Jesus beyond the fable
What could that old Jew have done
While there are wars being fought
And good men hung
If we have failed, then he failed me too
Christ the savior what have you allowed us to
And if the ill in man was so damned grand
That it couldn't be fixed by your resurrection plan
Why would anyone want to save our souls at all?
Why build a temple wall and let it fall?
Jesus Christ, I hope you had a ball.
You're dead and now we've got to live with your shopping malls.

There's no peace on Earth
No good will for men
No feast upon the table
No gifts under that Christmas tree
For all who cherish Jesus beyond the fable
You say that every starving child
Is just an example of your mysterious ways
The cancer wards
The useless dead
Explain what we're buying when we pray?
Why should I try to believe in you,
when thou hast forsaken me?
Sorry God I just can't do it
take the finger instead of bended knee.
