Book 20 Page 28

Standing alone

He’s standing alone,

standing on his morals.

Standing without a home.

Standing on rocky coral.

Some are calling him ‘a rebel.’

Some are calling him ‘a fraud.’

Some are calling him ‘a devil.’

Some are calling him ‘lord.’

His name may be Jesus.

His name may be your own.

But who ever he is, he’s the ‘dissenter,’

and he’s standing all alone.
