1.3 billion
That is the jack pot
A staggering amount of money
For the Powerball
The odds of winning
Almost zero with imperceptible almost
But not zero
And for that not zero chance
People are willing to pay
For almost no chance at all
With hope and fantasy
But when it comes to God
Jesus Christ
And everlasting life after death
The same people who will
Buy lotto tickets with life savings
Will not pay a dollar
For something that is worth
Far far greater
Than 1.3 billion
And the odds?
