Short Missionaries Poems

A missionary and a serial killer are not that way born.
Both evolved by the environment each experienced and individually came from....

A chocolate split with banana
Amuses the girls in Havana
A little ice cream
Does soothe self-esteem
When missionaries shout, "Hose Anna!"...

Marvelous ministers
meant to share the gospel
message, men and women
motivated by love
marked by God to go forth
making disciples, true 
mentors of faith and peace.

aka "The Missionary Position"   per Jan 

Missionaries knocked on our door
And saw the wife flat on the floor
They said it was rude
To lie in the nude
But not in the clothes that they wore?...

Woman of lofty thoughts,
 you enriched your culture –
 embraced child- God,
 brought to your people by missionaries.
 
You were not like Jezebel,
 who brought destruction
 upon herself and her Phoenician nation
 by rejecting true God.
 
You pacified the warring tribes,
 making them brothers ,
 teaching them about Sky World
 and miracles of God Lord....

Grandma told it well.
Some missionaries
Visited her dad –
He was one deacon.
Everyone listened.

He let them teach.
All about God
And the iron rod
Deacons complained

Threatened him
Their mob came
Red -hot tar  --

Kids learned
Dad’s strength 

Stands!

One Outrageous Story!
I remember Grandma telling me 
about her dad, my great-grandfather.
back in the early 1900s...

O, to dream of mythic trails, velvet underfoot
    to float on whipped-cream waves of desire
  To feel your soft contours sigh in sync with mine
    mint vapors to inhale, on moonstruck wishes to dine 

  To saunter down sandy boardwalks and disappear
    sans white buds or jeweled baubles in ageless ears
  Missionaries unflinching, for unrepentant good
    ere sunrise flickers out 'neath ashes of widowhood...

On this day, nonbelievers will see
The unimaginable transpire

The earth overwhelmed by tragedy
People vanished, replaced by fire

As for those left behind
A flock of sheep without a Shepard

There in the book, perfectly lined
The words will taunt the herd

This is the day you will be left alone
No missionaries will try and change your mind

They reside at the feet of our God, beneath his throne
You, my friend have been left behind...

Wind,rain,sun and snow,
All God`s creations, He wants us to know.
Tragedies,crimes of unfaithfulness draw near.
Read the Holy Testament.
God will silently hear.
Homeless,battered,hungry ; futures unclear.
Stop! Seek guidance.
Ask for God`s forgiving ears.
Missionaries and churches engage in battle.
They shake Satan`s chains.
Can you hear them rattle?
Disciples of Emmanuel devotedly fight,
Marching in Gods army,
Casting  holy vision, forever bright....

THE FEET OF THEM

How beautiful are the feet of them, 
the pillars of strength, and stance of him,
the hands, the smile and face of him, 
who brings to us good news. 

How lovely are the voices of them,
the song, the Word, the sound of him,
the message of grace and love of Him, 
sending them who brings good news. 

How precious the hoary heads of them,
the glory of the Lord of them,
the birth, the life, and death of them,
who brings to us good news....

Barefoot
I walk
across isolated wastelands
 
Silence
engulfs me
and I am alone
 
Strangely
it does not frighten me
to be that solitary figure
stumbling on a path less traveled
 
Other missionaries
join my crusade
chanting hymns of unity
 
Our crossroads
each a different route
hidden agendas guiding us all
 
Barefoot I limp 
over thorn and stone
 
Silence once again surrounds me
and I am no longer alone...

Suspicious vows mocking arouse
classic gowns masked ball an spouse
reflection of dark eyes in all mirrors
red dresses of pure silk satin 
men's tux fervently impassioned
scent of an unknown mystical dawn
sudden back to violin an tango vin
worried figure takes place heartfelt
may i have this dance madam 
hence float the scent deep faint
moves freely like antonyms dictionaries
compared by experts an missionaries
unexpectedly sunk in a crush 
an flee out of th' ball in rush...
