daring determination of simple folk
to perform greater humane servicesto humble and broken humans, attracts
my attention and into songs i break
four friends of the paralytic man
ascending the roof to dig, to openand let down the cripple to receive
healing, indeed, is a heroic act
stopping, stooping down to the half dead
on path traversed by the ghastly beastand waiting not for a tax receipt
before donating to the inn, sure, is neat
