A prophet is not without honour.
Except in his home town.
Are we held in dishonour.
Do people criticise, frown.

Oh well, we keep trying .
Doing our best.
Though few are listening.
But why worry about the rest.

If Jesus was ignored.
Can we not take it too.
We will take up his gentle sword.
And wield it lovingly too.

We proclaim the message.
Though we know we ourselves are not the message.

…..

Are we a prophet
Ignored in our own country
What does it matter
