Haiku for
disciples
The teacher
instructs
his followers; they
will shape
their lives upon
his.
The teacher directs
her disciples; live
like me,
they’ll treat you
the same.
Do not be afraid.
Truth will come out
at the end.
Simply be faithful.
Proclaim it loudly
from the rooftops,
what you hear
from me in whispers.
You are of great
worth
to God. Should they
take your life
God will receive
you.
I bring division.
There is much they
will not hear,
much that will
offend.
You must take it up;
the cross that says
servanthood.
Shrink not from its
shame.
You would find your
life?
Lose it with me.
Discover
the life that is
true.
