Premium Member Jesus Teaching: Acting With Pretense Mk

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]


Poem For the Working Class

In the cold 
they do their work 
   The work is of utmost importance 
  Buildings, churches, synagogues and parks 
all exsist due to the sweat and blood of the workers
They must continue to do their work 
  So the city will be safe and strong 
Fantasy has its place 
But sometimes we should write 
   of the stark truth 
Even if it ruffles a few feathers

Magic Show

Sunlight pours through
my window
    It's time for
the show to begin!
Trucks, cars, people
        The   
        City 
        Awakens
  Now we'll taste joy
In the knowledge that we're 
part of the Metropolitan machine
 We'll finish putting up buildings, churches,synagogues, parks 
and museums and the
       the beat-beat-beat of the asphalt homeland
begins to pound
          Such,such are the urban joys

Magic Show

Sunlight pours through 
my window 
   It's time for 
the show to begin
Trucks, cars, pedestrians
            The 
            city 
            awakens
Now we'll taste joy 
In the knowledge that we're 
part of the metropolitan machine
We'll finish putting up buildings, churches, synagogues, parks
and museums as the beat - beat - beat- of the asphalt homeland 
begins to pound out ists music
  Such, such are the urban joys

Prague

Prague

a living place
and tourists crowd,
the buildings' grace,
I say it loud,
it was preserved.
Kafka's and Golem's 
shadows rest,
at places, gardens 
at their best.
A baroque garden,
stylish green,
and artist's craft 
for all be seen.
Old Jewish Quarter,
synagogues,
the  Altneu Shul,
the tombstones
there,
and crossing Charles Bridge's
cobbled path,
I watched Moldavia's water pass.
A picture,
silently and rare.

Premium Member The Faith of Dogs

Adoringly, she stares at you,
trusting that you will see her through,
her rescuer from direst straits.
So at your feet, she patient waits.

The master’s children first are fed;
bewildered not by what He said,
she knows her place, but doesn’t care.
She’s certain there’s enough to share.

A Canaanite does thus inspire
the object of her great desire;
In Tyre no less, not synagogues -
great indeed, the faith of dogs…

Premium Member Acceptance

All my life, I've believed in my God, yet
churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques have
convinced me we worship the same God,
even more so because logic says so.
People have worshiped many Deities,
throughout the diverse history of Man.
And yet, our link to a Divine being
never disappeared; it's still strong today.
Christianity offers acceptance,
equality, and love based on blind faith.

The Starving Masses

The starving masses

We should welcome those who flee from
tyranny, rape and murder with open arms
it is our human duty to do so.
We must accept Islam as a religion equal.
To ours and put the same restrictions on it regarding demonstrating their faith.
in public, worship should be done in synagogues
churches and mosques.
Our culture will not be threatened if we
respect and people of other colour and faiths,
we will instead expand our understanding, and it will enrich us greatly.
