Excerpt from Common Sense Theology, Or, Naked Truths in Rough Shod Rhyme, Vol. 1 of 4: About Human Nature and Human Life, With a Critique Upon the Creeds
Here, thoughtful reader, let me say,
I love the truth right well,
And ill my rhymings I have aimed
The naked truth to tell.
I have not tried to gloss my thought
With fine poetic phrase,
Nor have I turned aside one whit,
To court for public praise.
My heart untrammelled, undismayed,
Has dared to think right out,
And clothe its thought in garb so plain,
That none who read may doubt.
I've sought to find the reason why
Man's life is what it is,
And in my searchings have not failed
The God within to quiz.
I long for that society
Where love's the ruling theme -
Where all disguise is banished,
And all are as they seem.
I long to meet in confidence
Each man so frankly true
He could not wrong his neighbor,
Though Gentile, Greek, or Jew.
