Is a Man
Is a man free or numb
Oblivious or ignorant or dumb
When unmoved by events surrounding
As conspicuous, persistent and resounding
As the crumbling becomes
That he still sings psalms
Is a man’s aim to mock
Is his peace demeaning or a shock
To those who see him as out of touch
Not feeling at all if not as much
The scathing scalding shared plight
That has put down the mightiest’s might
Is a man so hollow
That he shares not the world’s sorrow
Does he offend by his peace and happiness
Is he teasing at the world’s emptiness
Is he unwilling to help feel
And will he will as much will as others will to will
Is a man absolutely one with the many
Without the exception of any
That he must surrender his judgment
And strive to endure the torment
Of a burning calling brazing his bones
And his praise to almost be shouted by stones
Isn’t a man God’s own creation
For His purpose, will and timely intention
One to plant and another to reap
One to send and another to keep
All different members but of one body
Duty bound and call ready
