Making matters clear

Haiku of servanthood


Avoiding the crowds,

hanging with his disciples,

making matters clear.


Betrayal awaits

the Son of man, and then death;

but there’s more to come.


His words seem riddles.

to his friends. Afraid to ask,

not understanding.


They were arguing

as they travelled. Which of them

would be the greatest.


They are embarrassed

when he asks them, will not say

why they had argued.


Those who would be first

must be last of all, must learn

to be a servant.


He takes a small child

in his arms. When you welcome

such, you welcome me.


Some self-styled Christians

climb the ladder, reach the top,

then forget to serve.
