Saint Paul

As reported in the comments section of my previous post, "Lovin' & Huggin'" I discovered two new poems on the 11th, including one titled "Saint Paul" by one of our lifelong faith formation students, who, we'll call, for the sake of protecting the innocent, Aquila. His age is unknown, but estimated to be somewhere between 8 and 10. The original is decorated with numerous colored foam hearts, circles, triangles and squares. In a review of the poem for the BBC, Pauline scholar Jerome Murphy-O'Connor called the work "an outstanding example of 21st-century Christian poetry. Inspired stuff. And historically sound. Ahhhh?" Enjoy. (Capitalization, spelling, and punctuation left in orginal form.)

Saint paul, Saint paul how do you do.
Do you miss being a jew?
Saint paul, Saint paul
On your first mission you brought alms to the christians.
Saint paul, Saint paul
on your missionary journey
You built churches in Asian minorities
Saint paul, Saint paul
On your second missionary journey
You revisited the churches in Asian minorities
Then passing through Galatia
You had a vision that led you to mecadonia
Saint paul, Saint paul
On your third journey you visited nearly the same regions
Saint paul, Saint paul
On that same journey you were prosecuted by Jews
For two years in chains
Saint paul, Saint paul
After two years of ball and chain
You were sentenced for same punishment as Spain
Saint paul, Saint paul
Released at last but for your life It has ended,
With a glorius past.
