Summary:
One from the notebook. Years ago I was in a church and suddenly became upset by the political atmosphere. And the marketplace outside the chapel made it worse. So I penned this.

The servant he came
And the servant withdrew
To blend in with the crowd
And speak for the few
Who were lost in the race
And fighting for space
While the tides he did turn
In the end he was spurned

The servant he spoke
With a grace and a wit
He shot from the heart
He shot from the hip
While the powers that be
From his words they did flee
Though he gave them a glance
They never gave him a chance

The servant arrived
To put an end to the hate
Who would have known
It would lead to his fate
While the crooked still judge
And the world holds a grudge
On the sinners and saints
Not the heartless who taint

The servant he built
A house on a rock
And we are the ones
Splitting up the block
Does it now lay in ruins
What are we doing
Do we add to his art
Or just tear it apart

Now the servant he watches
Over life’s little game
He belongs to the meek
The sick and the lame
Who are we to contest
Suggest or protest
Or even lay claim
To the love of his name

    1. I really dig the subtle description of the savior. I went back and read it again, knowing more exact the person you’ve wrote of.
      It’s a good write and you should be proud with the result. Great job.
