Ahead of His Time

He was walking, when all
Around him they were crawling.
He was speaking when the
Others were still bawling.

He was running, when
Others were still walking.
He was writing when finally
They all started talking.

He was speaking peace
When others were shouting war
He was already there when
They were still away far

He gave us love
When they wanted hate
He promised us life
They just questioned fate

His words told the many
Not to fear the few
The few listened too
In awe they all knew

He stayed well beyond us
Yet dwelled within our mind
We contemplated his words
But could not conquer his kind

He knew things that didn't exist
He said things that troubled
He went places we never saw
And gave us sight that doubled

He was far beyond his day
Far ahead of his time
Way in front of the second
In his pantomime

Still today he leads
All those who will follow
We know who he is
If only we will allow

His words to saturate our heart
He would never again depart
He his well ahead of his time
In his loving pantomime.
