    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
    – Robert Frost

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
    – Aristotle

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
    -Robert Frost

    'Love your neighbour as yourself'
    Most of the people cheat on their wives
    Most of the people lie to each other
    The minority kill each other
    Most of the people steal from each other
    Most of the people swear at each other
    Most of the people dislike each other
    And who will you blame?

    'Love your neighbour as yourself?'

    I believe that the most

    valuable contribution

    a Parent can make to

    His Children is to instill

    faith in God.

    we are saved is prophetic names writ yet can vanish
    without walking we atrophy unless we profit we diminish
    faith not followed, useless, presumption takes to the grave
    grace not sought is not owned, hope alone does not save
    intellect ruling Spirit, sown vanity must reproduce itself

    they brought new books to the table to promote the latest idea
    more modern, more relevant, not superstitious as they then were
    would the master be amused with such diversions from his teaching
    will he share the stage with such experts, join in admiring their work
    call no man rabbi, anyone preferring another's is ashamed of my words

    what is truth said the roman besotted with power
    tell us more said the greeks, you entertain our minds,
    truth is science said man, let's measure some for you,
    I am truth said the greek, opinion is all, while the meek
    carpenter shone the light in the dark, darkness still rules
    through vanity, political domination in the kingdom of fools.

    nebuchadnezzer ate grass, poor fare for such a great man
    to remind him another is King of kings and all eat from His hand
    men are grass here today gone tomorrow and who remembers
    their steps, better using time to fine witnesses where it matters

    my learned colleagues and i after extensive study of the documents
    believe there is an underlying teaching that is stronger than the truth
    that is plainly revealed and we have decided that all must now be read
    through this new vision which will now form the foundation of the true faith

    traditions give comfort, the master kicked out the chair
    from under the complacent who found fault with his care
    the dying who thought they were living in the light shining
    though Abe and Moses were not hearing because they had
    trusted in actions, not heard deeper words, stopped up their
    ears unto murderous ways, deception, guarding, vicious dogs,
    protecting nothing, had nothing, sacred scriptures read wrong
    only brought out their rage, fruit always defines type of the tree

    they no longer walked with him as his teachings were too hard
    but they walked with each other needing the comfort of friends
    sharing hope that some way could be found among them
    that would satisfy their need for a religion made for men

    men boast that they cannot be taught, the underlying thought,
    is that they now know it all, being oracles of truth, from their ramparts
    tall they cannot be assailed, their windows all shut keeping out all the arrows
    their moat and the drawbridge holds out foreigners but little light
    penetrates through such thick walls and the wheat cannot
    grow in the central courtyard, so starvation is all
    can be gained by such defences
    when the actual war is
    deeper within

    those that stayed with the master those chosen
    and in whom God had planted the seeds of true faith
    grace falling on them from the mouth of the king found
    a home built of truth not understanding, they abided with
    him for they grasped that God's choice was evidenced in his
    works and not their view, faith is simple, act now, don't hope
    to know all now or even in the future… it doesn't really matter.

    'Come join with Me' our Lord says
    'Take My yoke it is the right thing to do'
    You will forget envy and remember charity
    You will lose arrogance and recieve humility
    You will love yourself

    Come lose your life and gain My hope
    Which cannot be bought
    This supermarket stocks food for the spirit.
    Food for the soul is bought elsewhere.

    Thank you, thank you
    It is so spotless here
    These new cloths are a tight fit
    My biceps seem to to show
    To provocatively,
    Everything is so ordely here
    Your beliefs you rattle of in pit pat
    Ready to be bought.
    Your door you say is quiet low
    I seem to find it to high,
    Yes you are right you seem to grow
    But I do perceive jealousy in your belief
    Your growth still seems smaller than theirs.
    Can I say have a nice day.

    Time is the coin of your life.
    It is the only coin you have,
    and only you can determine how it will be spent.
    Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
    -Carl Sandburg

    two went to the temple, both needed forgiveness, were sinnermen
    one came home exalted, he knew and admitted his problems
    other lost though religious, confused though well read
    ticking boxes, filling forms, doing what he could
    to embroider his casket with more filthy rags
    blindness first affects insight it seems
