JESUS AND SIDDARTHA
Dedicated to Edmund Russell
By DR. GUY BOGART
NE from the manger and one from the palace came;
Their goal the same.
Their search only to find
Liberation for mankind.
One only solvent-
Love.
And one died young and one lived long;
Yet sang the selfsame song:
One only hope in
Love.
One died on the cross and one in peace,
Yet each found refuge and surcease
In living the truth of
Love.
Spires and domes and priests and creeds
Obscure their message for human needs
And divert the stream of
Love.
Yet the truth of the Christ
And the truth of the Buddha
Is stronger than bricks and stones,
And greater far than sacraments and robes.
One from the manger and one from the palace came
When the world had need ;
And the message today's the same
As living saviors sow the seed of
Love.
By special request we reprint from "The Stratford Journal" of Boston, Dr.
Bogart's popular poem, praised by William Stanley Braithwaite; of which Robert
Service said "This is real poetry"; Edmund Russell, "It should be written on
tablets of gold," and Tagore, "The poem is indeed remarkable."
