Jesus In The Pizza

Jesus In The Pizza

Clearly we see Jesus in the old pizza crust

His image carved neatly in wall cracks

Concrete thoughts for concrete steps

Sidewalk images reflect his purity

I could swear I saw Him squinting at me

From a grapefruit I squeezed this morning

My eyes were so sore I cried

Is it by accident that juice hurts

Cracks in the mind still need filling

Concrete mix for concrete thoughts

These are not UFO sightings

Everyone knows God

Sometimes Mary is there in the potato chips

In clouds and even nature

Back to the pizza back to the womb

I'm still hungry to tell the truth

There is always room for food

Food for thought and pizza images

Author's Note

Authors note: No disrespect for God. I'm sure He has a sense of humor. If not, I am in a world of trouble. There will be no waiting in line, hiding behind cracks in the wall or inside a pizza at the end of time.

Earl, I like and appreciate your sense of humor. I guess we'll find if God does sometime later. I truly like your originality. I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the title, but I was intrigued. Your words are so true. I think we've all seen these images in the clouds, water, shape of a tree, etc. Perhaps even pizza (though that's one I have yet to see). And, what's interesting to me is why. Are we always looking for God, even if subconsciously, questioning if He's truly there, or is it a memory triggered by something we see? Nice work, sir!

Hi Robert, Thank you so much. I trust your judgement. I made a couple of adjustments to this poem moments ago. If you have time would you please inform me if you like the 1st. or this new version? As always, thanks! Earl

I think I like the first version better, but both are good.

Hi Robert, Agreed. I have a tendency to overthink things. I'm staying with the original. Have a great day.
