For Far Too Long

. . . or not long enough?

The Malingering

seven long months

convalescing

like some earth bound wraith 

unwelcomed

upon consecrated ground

whilst circling the deepest abyss

of some malevolent virus

to which I had no resistance

hellbent on my imminent death

in my weakness

in the darkness

faith put to the test

with a living dose

of heavenly strength

Ink of the Scholar

It is said that the pen
is mightier than the sword
That the ink of the scholar
it is far holier
than the blood of the warrior
A rampage of terror
in the name of revenge
is no Way of the Martyr

In hope, faith, and love,
we could be expressions
to become true reflections
of a reality much higher

Creation in Chaos
Chaos in creation
The world is a powder keg
of tribal power
and political corruption
like a dead hand
grabbing at a neighbour’s land
driven on by the need to exceed
A greed that feeds
on violence without end
emboldened
by an unholy blessing
dressed up in the pretense
of self-righteousness
from the false prophets
of profit and loss
lost in an endless rampage
of collateral damage
never counting the cost
of a vengeful harvest
at the sanctimonious behest
of Iron Age religion
forged of steel and flame
in the cruel grip
of some anonymous beast
Creation in chaos
Chaos in creation

“Father, forgive them, for they do not
know what they are doing.” – Jesus

An almighty God
doesn’t need my feeble help
to fight to make things right
in a world divided and bitter
It is me who needs God’s help
to make me right in His sight
Then things can only get better 😇
