The tramp and the sage

The tramp conversed with the sage"
do not let your mind be crushed by the modern age"

Real truth lies within
A combining of genius
Two men of great influence
And compassion can see the faults
where greed and so called progress snipes at the soul

WesternCivilisation is a great idea
Not found in bricks and mortar
But deep respect, if its concepts be held true

He was not a tramp
and he no superman
They both where ordinary men
except one thing they valued truth as art
and art as truth

Both visited modern times
And saw a world in error
As sure as salt comes from the earth
All men at heart should be so free
