And when the child was born; the holy child
named Jesus, who was sent to us by God.
Did all things there bow down, as legend says?
and did three ancient kings bring frankincense
and gold and mir, to him, as folks have told.
If this was so, why do not We today
act as His teachings tell us we should do
as He has bid us through His many words.

Is it time, for yet another prophet
to be sent, set our footsteps to the path
which we should go; tell us once again
that we should truly love our fellow man.
Our search for worldly wealth is not to be
our target, in this pleasant world of ours;
we have made it so today, and failed.
Or can we change and do as He has said?

Not all peoples of the world endorse this form of ideology Ben. If this site were more localized, it may not be as great an issue. However many people around the globe have access to the internet and thus may read this poetry/prose of yours. Even someone who professes to be an atheist would not subscribe to this concept.
I feel you should have specifically stated who it was you were addressing when you wrote your capitalized "We".
