Flash robes

 

Haiku for the self important


Religious leaders,

shaped by pride, just like us all;

no better, no worse.


The erudite Scribes,

learned, apparently wise;

enjoy the honour.


Flash robes, the best seats,

places of esteem; the Scribes

are lapping it up!


They like to look good

but don’t care about justice;

they will be condemned.


The rich can pretend

to be generous; the poor,

giving freely, are.


She gave all she had

to live on; this poor widow.

True munificence!


Generosity:

stamped into the DNA

of God’s creation.

Haiku for partying Prophet Isaiah paints his partying canvas in bright, dancing hues. Come to God’s mountain, gather with you...
