He returned with more than a few,
but no one listens to everything He says.
the statements are entrancing; however -
to an empty crowd they are impotent.
the sea of blank faces gazes quizzically
and says to Him-
(a thousand voices speaking as one)
"The water is warm so dive right in."
"I've been to other places,
ones far away from here.
I want you to regain your lives
and return out of your fear."
"Our lives are perfect, can't You see?
Everyone living in peaceful harmony.
You need to believe us, this is a fact:
since You strive for honesty - do not go back."
their quick rhyme couldn't shift Him
from leaving that which He stood for.
nor hypnotize Him, simplify Him
or unadorn His brilliant face.
He embodies His ideas
from flesh to bone.
He is a traveling man -
