The Visitor

"I came to your town, and because I was not born in your fair city
I was not included.

I came to your town laying claim to citizenship from what you call a 'foreign' country,
so I was not included.

I came to your town, and because I had friends of ill repute
I was not included.

I came to your town, and because I had no material possessions
I was not included.

I came to your town, and because I spoke with a different accent
I was not included.

I came to your town, and because I spoke the truth
I was not included.

I came to your town and lived and worked in the poor section
and thus was not included.

I came to your town and you did not know me.
I am the Messiah"

~Al Staggs, A Pilgrim in Rome
