A lowly peasant, manor born
Walked among us long ago;
And tried to teach for all mankind
Of a better way to go.
This teacher, preacher for all time
Spoke of love, compassion, care,
Peace, contentment and brotherhood
And our mutual need to share.
Famed leader Gandhi oft times spoke
On the lessons Jesus taught;
And thought if we would follow them
We would gain what can't be bought.
To soon, this peasant, manor born
Faced death on a rugged cross
And mankind's struggled ever since,
Searching for love's lesson lost.
Very smooth flowing poem with nice rhymes and a wonderful content. Excellent art, Joseph
though not a devout christian I find the power of Christ as a sign of human compassion, empathy and manor important, I might not like his fans but I don't mind J.C. nice write not preachy in any way
The love this peasant ignited still burns in many hearts! ! That's why the world goes on despite its wickedness, hatred and malice! A brilliant write coming from a sincere heart of great convictions! !
Our mutual need to share, a good lesson of brotherhood with this wonderful poem, which would lead to peace and contentment, So well said Sir.

Brilliant Joseph - we have indeed many lessons to learn, and we always seem to choose the hard way rather than listening to and acting upon the words of the wise.
