1. |
In the year 44 |
2. |
Since the birth of John the Baptist (44 AD) |
3. |
The drought deepened across the levant |
4. |
So that a great famine emerged |
5. |
People began to starve |
6. |
It was then that James ordered |
7. |
The vast wealth of his family to be sold |
8. |
In exchange for the purchase of grain and food |
9. |
For the hungry |
10. |
The first time in history |
11. |
That those not kings of a land |
12. |
Did care for the common folk |
13. |
He appointed Stephen to be in charge |
14. |
At first a few hundred were fed |
15. |
Upon which the Sadducees and Pharisees |
16. |
laughed at such strange care |
17. |
for the undeducated and poor |
18. |
For the priests cared nothing of the people |
19. |
But then a few thousand were fed |
20. |
and the word spread that the Nazarenes of Jesus |
21. |
Were performing a miracle |
22. |
And feeding the multitudes of starving |
23. |
Without being preached, people asked |
24. |
what faith is it that helps strangers |
25. |
and thus many began to learn of Gnosis |
26. |
from the honesty of its actions |
27. |
As thousands began to learn about Gnosis |
28. |
as well as be fed |
29. |
this alarmed the Sadducees |
30. |
Paul of Tarsus also known as St. Paul |
31. |
Was dispatched by the House of Ananias |
32. |
To disrupt the effort |
33. |
He found Stephen and some disciples |
34. |
On route with more supplies |
35. |
Paul himself did stab |
36. |
and Smash the open the skull of Stephen |
37. |
Torturing and butchering |
38. |
the remaining disciples With relish |
39. |
When Paul returned to young Ananias |
40. |
To boast of his exploits |
41. |
He was admonished by older members of the family |
42. |
And placed under house arrest |
43. |
On account of his savage violence |
44. |
and love of wickedness |
45. |
When James heard of the evil actions |
46. |
Of the Sadducees |
47. |
He wept |
48. |
Old Ananias and his sons did come to see James |
49. |
And offer terms of a truce |
50. |
To see that no more violence would occur |
51. |
But James refused |
52. |
On account of the evil of these men |
53. |
Who pretended to be priests |
54. |
In rage old Ananias cursed James |
55. |
And gave up the ghost |
56. |
His sons accusing James of hastening |
57. |
The end of the old priest |
58. |
And vowed they would never rest |
59. |
Until the Nazarenes were dust |
