Osler's Razor

They were clowns,really.
One who made grandiose statements
That were very true.

He tried to show off
Walking on water to his
Lord. Then said he did

Not even know the guy,
When He was in trouble.He
Founded the Church. "Rock."

Poet boy of whom the
Lord was very fond. James,his
Brother,their mother,planned

Where their placecards would
Sit at the feast board in Heaven
At Jesus'right hand.

One Bean-counter who
Didn't like kids,and gals who
Bought high-priced scent to

Anoint His Feet. Tsk! Tsk!
Sold Him for thirty pieces
Of silver. and hung

Himself,pierced by guilt.
A twin,who did not believe
Had to put fingers

In the nail holes of
His hands and spear holes of side.
My Lord and my God.

All of them ran from
The cross. But the poet boy,
And the women. They stayed.

These women.Marys.
Stayed to hold his eyes.Defy
Death,stand up for Friend.

So these were his interns.
Weak,tempted,show-offs,doubters
Women who had struggled

With mental illness
And Passion,but He took faults
And turned them to strength.

This ragged band of
Heroes and cowards,and made
Seeds of Faith.
