They had an argument about a dead man.
Whom Paul alleged to be alive.
They claimed he was a mad man.
It was not enough for him to strive.
We ourselves ask this question.
He was dead , is he still alive.
Again and again without cessation.
Answers eludes us however much we strive.
Is the best way to relax .
Just assume it to be true.
As inevitable and a lot better than tax.
And what is our due .
I prefer to try to believe.
And not overmuch to grieve.
……..
Is he still alive
That’s the vital question
Which we must answer

See Acts 25: 13-21
