Haiku for those
who can see.
Who was the
person
whose sin caused
this man’s blindness?
Doesn’t work like
that.
A miracle tale
as Jesus heals a
blind man.
Much consternation!
The authorities
refuse to see the
new thing
that God is doing.
Oppressive doctrine
is the cause of much
blindness;
now, as it was then.
Blind authorities
still betray; they
are captive
to lust and power.
Blindness all
around.
We quite like this
blissful state;
pretend innocence.
No, it wasn’t me;
I’ve not seen
their suffering,
do not know their
pain.
Surely we’re not
blind!
If you were,
you’d have no sin;
but your sin
remains.
He comes seeking us;
the one who opens
closed eyes.
Let us see, Jesus.
