you will know the truth by its actions

June 8, 2008

let the gods throw chairs
at each other

claiming truth
as property

shattering bones
in their name

while buddha sits quietly
under a table

    This made me think of a cartoon i saw on a blog.
    A man was huddled up next to “Jesus”, scared, and the man was saying, “Protect me from your followers.”

    i feel the same way, and try to follow the best i can.

    Pharisee-ism is alive and well.

    Great cartoon. Humor seems best when it is truest.

    Glad to see you’re still writing your lovely poems, I’ve been away quite a while…I love gods throwing chairs.
