He was not hungry, but, he knew the hunger of each soul.
He knew, many were physically and mentally ill.
The liberation of each soul from their bonds was his goal.
In him, the poor and the downtrodden felt an unknown thrill.
Caste, colour, and creed differences couldn't touch his shadow.
The leaven of the Pharisees couldn't enliven him.
Dining with the socially rejected was not just a show.
He harmoniously relinked the earth's broken rhythm.
The lowly found in him father, mother, brother, and friend
At his touch, Levi felt his sins were being washed away.
The censures of the scribes, as sewage streams, had no end.
Could they, yet, keep him away from his compassionate way?
Those who could not cure diseases, kindled them for the poor.
It's in Jesus, for their illnesses, the poor found their cure.
Vows that were meant till our dieing days.suffer in the outcome of your deceitful ways.the depth of gut wrenching instinct a bond that's shattered never to be relinked. So its sinking in realisation of what's coming its hitting me full force and I can't stop running.results that end in years of lies sucked in again with your repeated disguise .dreams that turn into dust .reality when its not love without your sacred trust.like a single tear that keeps on pouring .sea of hurt two soul mates in mourning. Goodbye my best friend I'll miss you more than life .a future you chose without me as your wife
