The church's centers for the homeless and downtrodden were crammed full, So once more, the old man gave the large cardboard box a big pull, And down it fell to cover the homeless gent to keep him warm at night, While all around him people walked in apathy aware of his lonely plight! They were too busy worrying about their lives, to take the time to care, Or else the lust for power and money, had left them no time to share, Governments had raised the tax and condemned the older shops, And farmers had lost their farms and drought had destroyed the crops! The old man opened the book and his rough and broken voice was heard, He didn't need a light to read by, 'cause he had memorized every word, Someone close beside him said, 'Could you speak that bit once more?' 'Cause the guy lying across from me on the papers, has a mighty loud snore!' So the old man 'turned' back the page and read again from the start, And his voice rose in pure joy as he recalled the words to heart, And the tired and hungry men listened to the stories that he spoke, They thought that maybe in their miserable lives there was a ray of hope! The old man regaled them with stories of the cruel, the brave and the strong, Of a king that ruled in power and greed while a boy soothed him in song, He told of strange places were people toiled and royalty made them slaves, Of the butchering of little babies and the Tyrant who laid them in their graves! The old man stopped then suddenly and the others heard him speak, 'Are you sure it is me that you need?' 'Am I the one you seek?' The men saw then a light coming from where there should be none, And lifting the box, they searched, for the old man he was gone! His threadbare coat was lying and on it was the old man's book, And one of the men had a few matches, striking it they had a look, The cover said, 'The Holy Bible', and one of the men began to read, The others sat down to listen and the Sower planted more seeds! ©Jane Richer Nov. 15/2007
