Jesus said

The Bible teaches Jesus said
to turn the other cheek
Blessed are the peacemakers
Blessed are the meek

Peace and light should rule your life
Try not to cause trouble
Try not to cause strife

But generosity abounds only
when we celebrate his birth
And colored eggs and chocolate
will not measure any worth

The virgin birth and resurrection
are fable and myth, I’m sure
Ceremony and ritual mean naught
Just that your heart beats pure

I believe Jesus would be sickened
by the horrors done in his name
As blasphemers are tortured, witches burned
and heretics are hanged

How can these things happen?
then be placed upon his head?
After all, blessed are the merciful
At least
that’s what Jesus said

Really a great poem with great thoughts

I just have to say

We are born this way
