Jesus Christ-A great soul
Ashit Kumar Sutradhar
12/25/2005

Long ago thou stepped into earthly life,
For peace and happiness instances thou set
But were crucified to death
It couldn't overcome thy message.

Thou invisible today
To me or like me thy people are
But ever living to the truth seeker
It's the experience of reality.

A lot of disciples you had,
You have
And you will have
For, men on earth you loved.

To make the wrong to the right,
Greatman, prophet or incarnation,
In the world have been born
They are the images of Almightly.

That thou preached its Christianity
But the people of other religions
Speak of you, praise of your well doings
This' thy glory.

Chaos and confusion are present days
From man to man, class to class, nation to nation
Oh, great soul, looking for your miraculous action
That could lead us to a new age.

To me, thou-one of god's incarnations
The world people recollect thee today.
My heartiest tributes to you today
For it's thy birthday celebrations
