Mother Teresa died just last week.
Her archetypal service to meek
Brought the World's attention to helpless;
Starving, tortured, forgotten homeless.
Soon a Christian Saint, for sure.
But her message ain't Christ's cure.
At least not the "Born Again"
Message rot that's Corn's refrain.
Perhaps Jesus would be proud,
That Mother Teresa's loud
Service to the World at large
Wasn't about belief required.
But was for humanness true,
Help reduce suffering's blues.
This is message all can hear,
Even Martian's strange culture.
Jesus' words originally
Weren't turds church insistently,
Tries to push on down our throats,
When we're too young to lies smote.
That's why Mother Teresa
Gives lie to what Christian's saw.
To help Hindu, Moslem
In their suffering and shame,
Is to help fellow creatures
And not be concerned with prayers
To a God they don't believe.
Kindness smote remote God's grieve.
As for me, I realize now;
Purpose isn't complete somehow.
Beyond freeing creatures true,
Reduce suffering We must add too.
