If Men Poem by George Samuel

If Men



Bow princes bow royal kings
Notice one Lazarus popular pauper
In your rich sentiment sing
Some high verses for crown and the list for rags
We over here respond if men were God
You cross the bridge with kids of different blood
One with all care close to your heart avoiding the flood
Dragging the others ear hanging on the sea lips
Meditating thy will be done and sleeps
Ten tender lambs under your care
Nine in all you can share
Unjust your neighbors only life you didn't spare
Spilled the innocent blood which cries father into your care
Into your care I commit my spirit
In your will the water is still
And though men despise the poor
In your kingdom for them you open the door
And man is not but dust
