Best Levite Poems

An expert in the law met Jesus, though
his question, "Who's my neighbor?" was to try
to test, and maybe trick him. Christ's reply -
to tell a parable to help him grow.
"A man walked down the road to Jericho.
Thieves beat and stripped him, leaving him to die.

How tenderly you cared for me
when you found me broken on the road
did lift me up gave me your own cup
removed from me my heavy load
 
You dressed my wounds with healing balm
every injury you sought repair
I do not think I'd be alive today
without your...

My OldSchool patriarchal Pentateuch
precedes our polycultural HolyNew Paraclete.

This Pentateuch
begins with the beginning
of theo-TribalEgo cultural correlations;
Genesis begets Exodus,

Jesus recognized
and dismembered as Pharisees
and Sadducees,
their scribes
and self-delighted accountants

Tediously enumerating
the fourth Book of Numbers

Who brought to bear God’s will this land upon
  for cursed...

I sin sometimes...and does it show!

expect a Christian to be.
Will you still love and...

Excuse me Dad,

I have an urgent question.
But first let me acknowledge that my blood brother is now my brother in Christ 
Recap
The brother who had ta-toed his body with cigar burns
The one who ripped his chest with a dagger
He spent three months in rehab
Yeap, that...
