Treatise...

hellow fellow travelers,
i come to you from a far place in a small boat that i carved out of a tree from my fathers 
land that he planted before i was born-
so i am here
and with me is a bag of pearls
hard won from the depths of the sea --these i have counted and polished and they are mine
but to those who can recieve them i offer them freely. i have given many only to see them 
trampled by the proud and arragent. i am humble thowas a prince in my land.so know this i 
will trample the arragent and proud yet share my bread with those who are humble 
and they will call me friend as i will call them
so i invite you all-- let us be friends
