Poem based on Matthew 21:33-46 The Parable of the Tenants

It has been a long time really

Since the beginning of time

We just need a bit more time

To fix things

make the right

the fruit is not cooperating

and we are not sure we like it anyway

we have some suggestions for improvement

what fruit to let in

and what to keep out

and then there is that big stone over there

it is in the way

we are trying to build a wall

keep others out

and after all this time

don’t you think it should be ours anyway

don’t you

and Jesus looked down from the cross

and said

Father, forgive them

For they know not what they do
