Reverend Barry Randolph was surprised when Jesus disappeared, <br />Was Jesus rooting for Detroit's hometown team? <br />-- his image oversaw Grand Boulevard, <br />North of Jefferson Ave., across Belle Isle, in Detroit, <br />After all the Red Wings were playing the Penguins for the Stanley Cup Finals? <br />(It was almost like being there on Good Friday but yesterday was a bad Wednesday,) <br />Or did Jesus want to congratulate Obama for his winning enough delegates, <br />On Good Tuesday, to beat Hillary? <br />The Thieves thought Jesus was made a copper; <br />His image was made plaster instead. <br />The thieves had stolen copper pipe and gutters before, <br />For the money is too good for the price of the metals, <br />And they work too little to make a little “bread”. <br />This is horrible as it seem to be. <br />For plaster they couldn’t get 30 pieces of copper let alone 30 pieces of silver or platinum, <br />No matter what Jesus is made off, <br />He will remember the thieves that stole Him. <br />I would not to be one of them, <br />For Judas is going to have some company. <br /> <br />(6-5-2008)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christ-almighty/
