About Jesus Christ who walked
around a lot and listened
carefully

Jesus walked around a lot
where people
were

and listened
carefully

to everything they said
because

he thought
they had a lot to say

and so they DID.

They said
There wasn’t any food.

They said
Their kids was sick a lot.

They said
they needed help

and Jesus listened
carefully.

And after he had listened
carefully
He said: if peoples
got together
it wouldn’t be
so hard.

He said
that maybe they could

change the
world

so children wouldn’t starve.

And after
he had finished saying that

he got some food
so they could eat

and then
he walked on down the road

to where
some other peoples lived

and stayed with them
and listened very carefully
again.

That
is what he did.

He told the truth
about the rich

and listened
to the poor.

And then
the people

who ran the country
killed him.

It happens
all the time
