Jesus

Why is there such glorification
Of the cruel act of crucification,
If Jesus could rise, he'd say -
'I don't want to be seen this way,
You should always remember me
As a shining symbol
Of goodness and decency,
To love your fellow man
The very best way you can,
To honor the weak and the meek
And turn the other cheek,
The Jewish religion I cherished,
I don't want it to be perished,
Neither do I ever want a Church
Of pomp and circumstance,
My beliefs were of a simple stance,
Persecution, torture and inquisition
Were never my position,
If I were ever again to rise,
I'd want to see a new world,
Simple, peaceful, loving and wise.'
