The intellectual… the poor in mind…
I believe both of them needs Jesus
For in their life they still have riddles
And Jesus can give them sure answers.
The wealthy man… the smelly beggar…
None of them came out already clothed.
In their life, both of them have hard times
But only Jesus can give them peace.
The triumphant…. the total loser…
Deep inside them, there exists a war
And there is a battle to be won!
With Jesus, you have sure victory!
The atheist… the hardcore Christian…
These people are both human beings.
Still, their beliefs in life can fail them
But Jesus can lead them to the truth.
Everyone is in need of Jesus.
Beyond all reasons, He is still God.

Well, this specific lines in this write captured my eyes...'The wealthy man… the smelly beggar…None of them came out already clothed.'
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
The triumphant…. the total loser… .... The atheist… the hardcore Christian… I liked these comparisons and the heart behind what you have written. And I rejoice that no one rates it a one just because it is Christian. Poets are supposed to be entitled to their freedom of thought.
