A Modern Messiah

________________________________________________
Title:     A Modern Messiah
Author: Max Eastman [More Titles by Eastman]

Scarred with sensuality and pain
And weary labor in a mind not hard
Enough to think, a heart too always tender,
Sits the Christ of failure with his lovers.
They are wiser than his parables,
But he more potent, for he has the gift
Of hopelessness, and want of faith, and love.

[The end]
Max Eastman's poem: Modern Messiah
