schooling in diplomacy

i have often wondered why Jesus was not schooled

in diplomacy, nor his predecessors took that path
and whom you call to put your word in their mouth
never have the opportunity in art of tact to be drilled!

your providence, i know, have not failed to fill

in every brain the basic wisdom, the common sense
but will not your word make an easy and a smooth sail
if wrapped up well in that skilful human noose!

hence every prophet of yours walks into that Golgotha

bleeding and bleeding to death, an award you bestowed
on Jesus, that innocent man from the ancient Nazareth
who not only spoke your simple word but also lived!
