call me Christian
though your dogma disallows it
for I love Jesus, that holy soul of yesteryear.
he who taught us to be greater lovers of each other
taught us that the old men knew nothing of their God.
learn that lesson happily from your great master
that you were no better learned than they were.
he who called himself son of God
called you also
and me also.
so acknowledge that common blood
and make a New Jerusalem of all your brothers.
