Immortal Man

Immortal Man I’m the spirit of man, an immortal soul the sum of all people, the total, the whole. I surrendered my life so yours would not end. I believed in the virtues of compassionate men. When I suffered from hunger you had no food to spare. When I begged for some water you had none to share. When I asked for forgiveness you would not forgive yet you ask for my grace each day that you live. You looked at my skin, shackled my feet. You murdered, imprisoned, tried to defeat. You used your religion to wipe out a breed. You stoned and you laughed as you watched humans bleed. When you look at our world look close and you’ll see all I prayed man would never be. Still I’ll go on believing in the morality of mankind. I’m the universal spirit good and evil defined.
