Being ready

More haiku for disciples

He gives the kingdom,

what more will you ever need?

Nothing else matters!

Give it all away!

Give alms, sell your possessions;

they’re not important.

Make sure you’re ready.

Be alert and be faithful,

live the way God wants.

Let love rule your life,

work for justice and for truth.

Live for the kingdom.

It is not enough

to simply live decently;

make a difference.

Perhaps tomorrow,

we don’t know when it all ends.

Love makes you ready.

The kingdom good news

is concrete hope and justice;

make sure you do it.
