Haiku to cause offence
The magnificat:
revolutionary tract
proclaimed by Mary
A new era comes
where the humble will be blessed,
the wealthy brought low
The powerful ones
are brought down from lofty thrones,
the lowly lifted.
The proud are confused
in their thoughts, the strong justice
of God is revealed.
This is the era
of justice and hopefulness
that God has promised.
Capitalism
is eclipsed in Mary’s song;
the rich sent away.
Let’s stop pretending
that the bible is neutral,
politically.
