Haiku to challenge the narrative
Story of wonder;
defying physics. Who knows
what really happened?
Joshua is told
that God will be with him, as
God was with Moses.
He is in command;
Joshua instruct the priests
at Jordan’s waters.
Selected leaders,
twelve, bear the Covenant’s Ark
across the Jordan.
Symbolic presence;
God will drive the foreigners
from their own country
Colonising God,
a most disturbing image;
should we accept it?
As their feet get wet
Jordan’s flow is arrested.
The people pass through.
The entire nation
crossed into the promised land.
Let the wars begin.
