DEAD FACTS<\/p>\n

So where is the Buddha?
\nHe’s down in the ground,
\nWhere is your Krishna?
\nDead without any sound.<\/p>\n

What about Muhammad?
\nNot with those virgins 72,
\nThen there is Confucius,
\nHe is likewise dead too.<\/p>\n

Yes, so many wise folks,
\nA few holy people claim,
\nBut if we examine closer,
\nThey ended up the same.<\/p>\n

But let us look at Jesus,
\nHe rose up into the sky,
\nDeath couldn\u2019t hold Him,
\nYet still you ask me why?<\/p>\n

Jesus did the impossible,
\nConquering death & sin,
\nNo one comes even close,
\nSo please let the Lord in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
