Upon entering this realm
Oge was filled with curiosity.
He sought to understand
all that he perceived.

Those who perceived him
seldom understood.

Seen as "peculiar"
"backward", some would say

In his quest for knowledge
Oge set out to find
the various "Sources"
from which others
had received answers
to their neverending questions.

Many spoke of what
"Jesus" had spoken.
This filled Oge with
a great sense of
disappointment.
Too bad the Nazarene
was not around
to speak for himself.

After much investigation
Oge came to the conclusion
that there were only three words
he felt confident in attributing to Jesus

He was fairly sure
that Jesus had said,
"mother"
or an equivalent thereof
He was equally sure
that Jesus had said,
"father"
or an equivalent thereof

Oge was absolutely certain
that Jesus had said,
"I"
or an equivalent thereof

Feeling the greatest certainty
in regards to this last word,
Oge accepted it as "The Gospel"
and truly believed that it had
been spread throughout
the entire world,
for a witness.

Some declared Jesus and Christ
to be one and the same
Some rejected the declaration

Oge decided
to ask Christ,
but before Christ
could answer,
some "christian"
would always butt in

When Oge went to Buddha,
some "buddhist"
would give their opinion

on and on...it was the same

Ask America...
and some "american"
would give their two cents

on and on...
and on

Oge addressed Earth,
but before Earth could speak,
some "earthling" would interrupt

Through all of this
Oge discovered
a great truth
about himself
and all others
in this realm

"No one here can mind their own business"
