Jesus' 1st 100 days


Jesus’ 1st 100 days
40 of them spent
Purging himself in the desert
The remainder
With relatively less austerity
But free healthcare for lepers
Draining the Temple swamp
Of hypocrites and salesmen
Setting the groundwork
For a legacy of compassion and social justice
Just left some cold
And wishing they would have
Written in
Naphtali ben Moshe,
A bit inexperienced
As savior
But a solid conservative
Strong on family values
And tough on terrorism,
“The Holy Land is for Jews”, he said
And “I will never accept a campaign contribution
From wise men”
