God sent his only son <br />Jesus by name <br />to save the world <br />with its abundance of <br />sinners, devils and cockroaches, <br />but Jesus, who had <br />never learned the art of smiling, <br />who was not given talents <br />such as diplomatic skills, <br />was caught by the envious ones, <br />not allowed to speak, <br />nor to learn how to smile, <br />and put down like a rabid dog <br />well before he could have, <br />perhaps would have <br />and most certainly should have <br />spoken the words that were in his heart.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/but-for-the-grace-of-god-3/
