If Jesus Were Messiah Poem by gary polonsky

If Jesus were Messiah
Sun across His face,
Would paupers and pariahs
Dominate the race?

Ditto with Muhammad,
His minaretted way‎,
Stirring up his comrades
Five times per day.

Hindus and their castes,
Gold upon their feet.
Palaces so vast
When not sleeping on the street.

Buddhists ring their chain,
Chant a peaceful aura,
Then how do we explain
Tora! Tora! Tora! ?

And, of course, the Jews,
Fifteen million strong,
Violists with drones,
Blamed for all the wrong.

It doesn't seem to matter,
Not the even nor the odd,
Life's pitter patter
Desecrating God.
