"MAN DOTH NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE"

Jesus Christ, the son of Mary

May God's peace be upon him said:

"Man doth not live on bread alone."



Yet I see those who say they believe in him

And take pride in calling themselves Christians

That they want to live by bread alone.

The craving to satisfy spiritual hunger

Exists no more

Nor does the desire to rise above the material self

Excite us to "rise above to heaven"

Just like the great prophet of God did.



The red rose remains as blood-red

And sweet is its scebt

As it was more than two centuries ago.



The city of Jerusalem and the teachings

As related by his disciples in "The Gospels"

Are still far too enlightening

For those minority of men, women and children

Who rise above their pangs of hunger

And do not live on bread alone...

Jerusalem has lost the spirit

That made it so sacred and holy

As every day I see people

Killing their neighbours

For they now only remember

The Satanic lure to live and kill

For what?

For bread alone...
