Sonnet

They had some argument about a dead man.
Whom Paul alleged was alive.
Strange how these arguments fan.
From generation to generation hard as we strive.

What Festus the Roman judge.
Could not understand.
And could only misjudge.
Neither can we in our an age and land.

It is this dead preacher.
And whether He is still around.
Who is the question, He is yes, the teacher.
But is He our entire surround.

Festus just got rid of the problem and flit.
I think we should confront it.

Haiku

Is this dead man here
That is central question
To everything
