Birthday Cake Poem by Mohammad Younus

Jesus was told,
China has made a big cake in your name';
He was surprised to hear that the cake was made...
...by a nation who did not believe in him...
...or in anyone in his prophetic lineage;
In a forceful outburst of displeasure...
...on this showy display, he says:
'These are not my people who make and...
...cut a big cake on my birthday...
...even if they claim to be my true believers...
...on Sundays, and on Good Friday;
My people are homeless, downtrodden, poor...
...who adore and follow my way;
Do they have any share in this wild...
...all wild, sumptuous cake?
My people are my people!
They do not celebrate my birthday...
...in an extravagant and ostentatious way;
They do not dance to the tune of evil masters;
They don't imitate pagan customs to celebrate...
...my birthday, when I was born to Mary;
They follow my pure teachings, and consider me...
....as their beacon light;
They virtually everyday celebrate my birthday! '
So said Jesus about his true believers today.
