If today
he came again
what would they say
the rich, the comfortable, the established—
Away with him, he blasphemeth?
This bearded fellow,
sandal shod,
he's a radical,
a rebel,
that's what they'd say,
he's troublesome, a meddler, a teller of unsettling tales;
his simple life accuses men's greed.
Still we must hear him.
For to prove he's right, he heals,
heals everything and anyone—
even the dead!
