737. When he died
When he died,Both earth and Heaven
Held condolence meetings.
Earth-Children said:
“Alas, we shall miss
Our sweet brother,
The real God-distributor
Whose heart cried to illumine us.”
Heaven-Members said:
“Alas, he is coming back,
The real rascal, the shameless
God-seller on earth.
Let us protest his arrival
At the inner Palace
Of our Heaven.”
