With snail-like slowness Mankind moves ahead Increments so small So many have bled One has to look back Hundreds of years For any sign at all Marked with human tears In this century great Emulation of the master Has been seen from Gandhi And M. L. King Jr. We should always remember The original who came With His Father's blessing And took for us the blame I don't think it's preached In any church of prayer But I believe it's so He taught His Father From Noah up Herod's time Massive force is not the answer And so He died to teach us all So I too am His follower |

I continue to be 'tickled' by the formal "Mr Yeats" - you can always get a rise out of me with it  I'm glad you read my message as I intended - and I feel sure we follow Him |

 Passive Resistance?? Sounds a bit like Compassionate Conservative. These words just don't seem to go together... But, after reading your poem, I can understand a little more clear how through time mankind has been very layed-back and has resisted the ways of our Creator. Thank you for sharing, Bob <>< |

"compassionate conservative"? hardly! I see the coming election as choosing between the lesser of 2 evils - as I have in many elections past. I am a fiscal conservative and a social liberal - as I think "He" was. I vote against corporate money and try to find the most 'populist' candidate - Unfortunately I do not see Ralph winning. Frankly I see the major candidates both as hypocrits and will count on neither (if elected) as doing much to further humanitarian causes - as I believe a true christian would try to do. Ok - now I'm off my soapbox -  thanks for reading |

I follow shall follow Him in reverence As long as I shall live And I'm becoming a bit each day More conservative (No soapbox, it just rhymed) Your poem is of concern, that many I think have forgotten the original. I did until I found Him again Thanks for sharing your thoughts Liz |
