Joshua

There is a story i have to tell;
of a young man named Joshua
and what he had to share
Simple in nature
No belongings of his own
He told of understanding
And 
The simplicity that is god
Who is this man named Joshua
so content with what little he had
He spoke of love 
And 
What we lost through the years
That no church or leader was meant to reign
That we're all god's children no one better than the next,with no monetary gain
How could we think this is what God wanted
To preach and take control
When all you need is his love 
And 
The freedom he gave us for our very own
Joshua was loved by many 
And 
criticized by few but in the end his message was clear
God will love you no matter what, so don't fear.
