Jesus.

Topics: classic

Where is poor Jesus gone?         He sits with Dives now,      And not even the crumbs are flung         To Lazarus below.      Where is poor Jesus gone?         Is he with Magdalen?      He doles her one by one         Her wages of shame!      Where is poor Jesus gone?         The good Samaritan,      What does he there alone?         He stabs the wounded man!      Where is poor Jesus gone,         The lamb they sacrificed?      They've made God of his carrion         And labelled it "Christ!"
