What Jesus Taught

…and what man advocates

By Apolinario Villalobos

               

Jesus taught charity, but man advocates selfishness

Jesus taught love, but man advocates hatred

Jesus taught compassion, but man advocates indifference

Jesus taught mercy, but man advocates cruelty

Jesus taught tolerance, but man advocates aggressiveness

Jesus taught piety, but man advocates wickedness

Jesus taught kindness, but man advocates thoughtlessness

Jesus taught humility, but man advocates arrogance

Unless man frees himself from the shackle of pride

Till death, to righteousness, he will be blind

And, limitless desire for worldly comfort

Will be in his heart, for all its worth!
