Soothing Oil
Ten devastating and vulnerable offences;
Could not break at all Egyptian fences;
Ten stone carved divine commandments;
Could not amend the Jewish attachments.
Cloud, sea barbed road or water from rock;
Heavenly manna and quails move mind rock?
Water turned wine and, death defeated true life;
And sermon on the mound change little in life.
But blood to the last drop is fast soothing oil;
To hard and tough wheels of mind in turmoil;
History witness even tough Romans proclaim;
Coliseums and crosses turned faithful’ claim.
Love ignite mind engine and care impart fuel;
Public and symbolic presentations may do well;
Reality and truth may modify many life forms;
Yet a full emptying only can create a transform.
Freedom of thought sprouts on the just’ blood;
Freedom of nation is set on patriotic million’s blood;
Human liberation is in track by the Messiahs’ blood;
Still millions need to propel by the soothing oil blood.
