My Story Poem by Howard Dalton

I Began, As A Story, And Many Have Been Told
I Am A Messiah, Son Of God, Born Of A Virgin
In A Manger, Homeless No Less, Lol, Yes I Have Humor
As A Matter Of Fact, This Image, And All Images Of Me
I So Wish For The Paparazzi, Back In My Day
Yes I Am Real, I Did Live, Not As You've Been Told
But I Was Born, And Found Disappointment In My Life
The World Was Not As It Could Be, It Was Deceived
I Began A Mission, I Began To Learn, And Give Of This Knowledge
And My Mission Grew, Missionaries Went Spreading The Word
My Words Were Of Love, Sharing, Caring Of Fellow Man
I Did Not Say Worship God, Nor Who You May Think
His Son Is, I Did Not Say Follow Me, I Did Not Build A Temple
I Did Not Say Gather And Worship, No Not Me, I Simply Taught
There Have Been Many Before Me, Who Have Helped Mans Path
And Many Who Thought, Theirs The Grand Plan
The Torah Has No Mention, Of My Start In This World
No Bright Star, No Homelessness, No Three Wise Men
But Based On That Book, Came The Christian Religion
Written By The Most Ruthless People Of The Time
The Roman Empire, Birth Of The Roman Catholic Church
Birth Of What Became Modern Christianity
They Wrote The New Edition Of The Bible
Attached It To The Old Testament
And Systematically Forced It's Existence, Even Into Your Century
I Did Die On A Cross.
But Not So You, Could Give Up Morales, And Principle's
But Because, The People Of My Time, Felt Me A Threat
You Know The Priests, And The Roman Order
So Please Follow Three Simple Things, And Your Life
Will Be Fulfilled Here, And Where Your Heading
Love Thy Self
Love Thy Neighbor
Love Thy World
