One Man In the Name of Love

It was never pronounced that MLK or Ludwig Guttmann were thinkers, Because prime movers are interactive, preoccupied with their cause; Societal progress is wrought through effort, division and conflict, Because progress has its beginnings only secured and settled by legal clause. Jesus was a social reformer, by life and deed and philosophy, Who waged that the many should have a doctor, not only the rich; He healed in the name of love, with intellect as his engine, And his unjust death sufficed for future generation’s mention. Love is at the centre of Christianity in Jesus acts of mercy, It is this historical story that has been trampolined by divinity; The heart of Jesus is misrepresented for cultural standards mandatory, Equality of right was bid as medicine’s saleability, not selectivity.
