Jesus The Healer

The Lord looked down upon the world
and saw things weren't too good.
His word had been forgotten
or at best misunderstood.

'My Son' he said 'you must return
to Earth's polluted shore,
to demonstrate your powers
till they worship us once more'.

'Yes, Father' said the Nazarene
and followed this request.
He advertised that healing
would restore those freely blessed.

A crowd assembled in the park
to chance to touch this man.
Each person healed had definite proof
of God's eternal plan.

But one on crutches backed away
as Jesus ventured near.
When asked 'Don't you want healing, Son?'
his face was filled with fear.

Then Jesus simply said to him
'You're ruining my show'.
He answered 'Stop! My compo claim
has three more weeks to go!'
