PARABLES
Son of God. Son of Man.
Here on earth, He took a stand.
And walked among mortal souls
Shared His ways and stories told
Wisdom, counsel, common sense
In parables His Word He sent
The sower and the seed
Some grew, some went to weeds.
The beloved son who went astray
But was welcomed back another day.
Faith as small as a tiny kernel
Can move

Property Rights
Rights’ rollercoaster seats these three:
1 ~ What's yours is mine. If necessary
I'll take it by force and quickly flee.
Such a ruinous view lacks maturity.
2 ~ What's mine is yours, so you may see
when need unfolds or there’s calamity,
no holding back, you can count on me.
3 ~ What's mine is mine, my philosophy.
I keep my

Samaritan Woman
She wanted to drink from her own well. Water came to her.
Within a short while, there went in her shrines, an unknown stir.
Give me water, you said; she said I'm a Samaritan.
Was cast, creed disparity in her culture, hidden?
A friendship, between her and you, like a creeper and tree, grew.
Her endless friendship, between God and

Good Samaritan
A man to Jericho making his way
was attacked by robbers as if him to slay;
then stealing his gold
and leaving him cold –
half-dead by the road, a scene of dismay.
A Priest was passing. Would he intervene?
Likewise a Levite surveying the scene.
While heaving a sigh
both then passed on

Good Samaritan
There once was time
Visitors would stream,
When a person’s health
Was like milk with cream.
Now, that milk is soured cream
No knock-on door no visitors stream.
There were many to wine and dine
Any place at any time,
Now, they’ve vanished into thin air
Only calls to say they are there.
Sometimes a good Samaritan
Will come by with true concern,
With a prayer

A Good Samaritan
The mailman frowned at the black snarling cat
He picked up his sack and smacked the air with a bat
But my baby is in there! The mama cat said.
The next time he swatted, he almost hit her head.
A good Samaritan dog had seen what was what.
He ran out and helped the mother, his name was McFutt.
You

The Humble Samaritan
Our loving sportsman, Sen. Pacman
Never missed a chance of being a samaritan
His humility and hard work earned him great reputation
And yet his whole body endured more refutation.

A Samaritan Passes
Every day they call me,
The battered, the shattered
And the sat upon
The smothered, overly mothered
And the sat upon
The neglected, rejected
The undetected undirected
And the shat upon
The tattered, scattered ratted on.
Every day I hear them call out,
As they weep or shout or bawl out
Their tales of, “Wo! I’ve had enough!
Let the poisons do their stuff.”
Every day I

Good Samaritan
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.
The man looked up with hope - a priest comes nigh,
but

Arabia, Israel, Iraq, Samaria, Babylon
I
The historical record shows many intimate connections between Arabs, Muslims, Hebrews and Jews, and Babylon. The nation we equate with Israel began as tribes in the deserts of Arabia. Some of them were allies, some opponents, of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). However, we know his Uncle-in-law was Jewish via Khadijah, and helped the Prophet reject

MY SAMARITAN - INK
“He’s drunk”. They passed by on the other side.
But I was ill and might not have survived.
She stayed until the ambulance arrived.
My Good Samaritan; I could have died.

The Good Samaritan
THE GOOD SAMARITAN
He went out from Jerusalem and as he went his way
Some thieves came by and beat him and left him there to stay.
The priest saw his condition, walked on the other side;
The Levite, too, passed by him, too caught up in his pride.
But then a good Samaritan stopped and looked at his case,
Realized

Good Samaritan
GOOD SAMARITAN
I'm a certain man, innocently I journeyed
Stripped and wounded; did no wrong
They had chances to help out yet they neglected
Everyone you meet daily is a neighbour
Not because they reside next to you
but because they are next to you
and you owe them a duty of care each
Hypocrites! They claim to be religious
Spiritually, they
