Short Mk Poems

The unwashed drain of 
semi-civil masses sits
bleakly in darkness...

found art so difficult to resist
Before his too early death
dreamy world abstracts gave him breath...

Then he sat down
Called the Twelve
Said to them
If anyone wishes to be first
He shall be the last of all and the servant of all [MK 9:35]...

Out
of our
poverty-
offerings of
love
Out

poverty-
pearls beyond a
price
Out
of our
poverty-
words to restore
pride

He went when he was asked
Persevering in his task,
As a writer, was untrained
He never sought easy fame
But his works,within a best-seller,became.

I saw the wind whip up the sea,
I sensed the fear deep in thee,
As we sailed across Galilee-
To the storm I then spoke these words..
Greater comfort..you've never heard.

You spent more time
At her grave than you
Did at home with her
When she could breathe
And her heart could beat
So I'm not sure which
One you liked more;
Her brown eyes or
The brown wood her
Coffin was made of.

Whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant
Whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all
For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve
To give His life as a ransom for many [Taken from MK 10:43-45]...

Little boys wield soldiers' toys
      plastic rifles, guns and tanks
   Grown men with MK-47s
      join the soldiers' ranks

   It's kill or be killed
      when you're in harm's way
   Your side's cause is just
      ~ or so you pray...

my soul has been
to places i've never seen
it has felt emotions
i didn't even know existed
it has loved people
i don't even remember

i understand it now, though
i am a whole
i am in one piece
but my soul is broken
it's pieces are finally free

Beware of the scribes
Who like to go around in long robes and accept greetings in the marketplaces
Seats of honor in synagogues
places of honor at banquets
They devour the houses of widows and
As a pretext
 Recite lengthy prayers
They will receive a very severe condemnation [Taken from MK 12:38-40]...

My heart yearns for you
Like air to breathe 
Or as lovers do
Need only each other 

Tortuous time away
Hearts ache so deep
A heavy price to pay
To build our future life

Though one more sleep
One more morning’s light
For your arms to keep
Me warm in your embrace 



For my loving MK

Cold marble stone erected in rows
That and my memories is all I have left of your prescence.
Memory recalls the good times and funny man you could be.
Violent temper you knew to walk it off.

(Sung)I L-O-V-E somebody. My grandbaby of all the grandbabies,
Tootsie girl!

For Ninow! See you on the other side!...

South Africa salutes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr!




They gunned you down,
on this April day,
all those years ago,

yet you live, you breathe!





They gunned you down,
just as they did Chris Hani and M.K. Gandhi,

and they failed, as they always will,

for they can never kill,

your dream, your ideals.





Your dream, your ideals,

live, and breathe,


still!...

This poem is composed by a 12 year old student, MK, submitted under my account as the teacher.

Reality
Faces, all the same
Games, all outside of me.

Am I popular?
Or am I just a speck?
Maybe half a speck,
I am all alone

Everything drifting away,
Telling, looking, expressing.

Am I real?
Is this a dream, of someone close?
Separation,
Something I hope to be not

Separation,
Coming to me...

You feel stuck,
Is there an escape?
Is there an unlocked door?
You crave freedom so much
There's nothing you want more.

Hearts trapped in souls,
Souls trapped in bodies,
Bodies trapped in societies,
Societies trapped in expectations,
Sooner or later you'll realise
That there is no pause.

So all in all,
We're all prisoners
Trapped in brick walls
Waiting for someone
To bail us out.

September, 2015.

New Church / Rejection of Christ's Message
MT 9:16-17
MK 2:21-22
LK 5:36-39

And he also told them a parable.
 "No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one
 Otherwise 
He will tear the new and the piece from it will not match the old cloak. (LK 5:36)

Reflection
He said to them a parable
No one builds a new church to patch the old one
Otherwise
He built a new church
It will not match the Original

He said to them
 Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature
 Whoever believes and is baptized will be save
whoever does not believe will be condemned
These signs will accompany those who believe
In my name they will drive out demons 
They will speak new languages
They will pick up serpents (with their hands) 
If they drink any deadly thing
It will not harm them 
They will lay hands on the sick
They will recover [MK 16:15-18]...

Going back to Ghost Town
Searching high and low for
My haunted love,
Why can't I let you go?

Retracing my steps
Looking for the house of ghouls
Where we buried the souls of
our loved ones,
Thinking that maybe that would be enough
To keep them alive

I'm going out of my mind
Because I keep looking for a piece of you,
In these bodies sleeping next to me
Maybe we really were meant to be
Or maybe my mind just craves insanity
