Politics and Faith do not Mix
Politics and Faith do not Mix
A few TV stations brought up the subject of Jesus.
Without mentioning any name or channel -
When it comes to religion, I don’t like
The way people talk, especially during the time before Christmas
Jesus is neither a left man nor a right man
Jesus is neither a Christian nor a Jew
Jesus was prepared for millions of years
Before he came to this earth
To help human beings in their misery
As he saw that people were losing their path
Those who are destined to know him
Will know that what distinguishes him
From all other spiritual helpers who came at different times
Is his immense power of Love, which guides
And elevates all those who follow him
To a spiritual state of goodness and grace
I will take only one position
In reference to the rich and the poor
Both sides are necessary for life to flourish
For people to aspire to do better
There is no society in which there are no differences
In wealth, in position, in power – it’s just called by different names
I’m asking everyone to think about this
In which society human beings would prefer to live?
Being poor among the poor – with no hope of improvement
Or poor among the rich with the opportunity to become like them
Wealth brings greater responsibility for those who are worthy of it
While poverty is not a shame and has driven many to great achievements
Honesty and love in the heart is the key to understanding
Who Jesus is
