Jesus – The Shepherd - Vikram G. Aarella

Oh, my shepherd lord
What are your followers doing?
They are playing the money card
Luring men into their fold and converting.

You endured so much insult and pain,
You will suffer for people’s sin, you said
But, the question will remain
Have, people taken your sacrifice for granted?

They think if they do a sin and confess
Their sins will be washed and erased
They are ignorant of creating the mess
In the ancient lands, that you once roamed.

You never taught anyone these things,
Nor did you put them in writing
Everything is being changed for convenience
Which is so obviously striking.

Vikram G. Aarella (20th century) India
