Haiku of
revolutionary blessings
They are outrageous,
these beatitude
sayings;
will you believe
them?
What is he thinking?
How do such wild
thoughts arise?
Impossible hopes!
Things turn upside
down:
the poor, the
mournful, the meek,
they will know
blessing.
The merciful ones;
to them will mercy
be shown.
Let us show mercy.
The ones who build
peace,
are the ones God
loves the most:
they are God’s
children.
Those whose hearts
are pure,
open, giving,
believing;
God’s face shines
on them.
When they revile you
as a disciple,
Rejoice!
Your reward is
great.
