The Lamb and the Scapegoat
a poem for Easter
A white-chocolate lamb is placed
on a dark-wood table and cracked,
to be eaten in shards by all attendees
gathered in the town hall’s upper chamber,
as about 2,000 years ago
something similar happened.

Easter Update
Things are still uncertain. As you may know, a fire destroyed the top floor of the building where I was living on Sunday 6 March. As a result of this, I lost my flat. Complexity arose in the days following; suffice it to say, I’m technically homeless and not covered by any insurance.
Add a short bout of COVID, and the stress levels went crazy. I made a speedy recovery though.
Wishing everyone a good and peaceful and reflective Easter.

End of the world
End of the world
I looked out the window
and saw it coming.
The thought occurred to me-
to go run and hide in
the basement.
I walked outside
into the street and
looked up at
the sky.

Easter Eggs
It’s after church
It went long
You sang a lovely
Easter song
It’s after church
Slip off your dress
I want to feel
Your sweet caress
It’s after church
Don’t make me beg
I spread your legs
Seeking Easter eggs
It went long
You sang a lovely
Easter song
It’s after church
Slip off your dress
I want to feel
Your sweet caress
It’s after church
Don’t make me beg
I spread your legs
Seeking Easter eggs

If these sacred events

Easter Bunny
I yearn an Easter bunny
To spice my life in spring
Winter celibacy is over
Time to start to swing
We'll gambol in the clover
Go swimming in the nude
When the party's over
To bed and get screwed.

An Easter Miracle
Jesus and Peter were walking through the woods one day
When they came up on a dead bunny on the forest ground
Peter said “aww, too bad” shedding a single tear feeling sad
Upon seeing the little rabbit, he had a near break down
“Don’t worry” Jesus said (you know he always kept a cool head)
He knelt down next to the rabbit and said a little prayer
Then from under his tunic Jesus took out a small bottle
Rubbed the potion in the palms of his hands and caressed the hare
Suddenly the bunny came back to life and sprang to his feet!
Wiggled...

Cavalry to Calvary
We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for
no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.” —Peter Kreeft, Jesus-Shock
the hate mob
meant to rob
the Holy Lord
with spear and sword
the cavalry
to Calvary
did the job
though the sob
of a Righteous King
came to foil the sting
of the evil
of the devil
clothed in shame
Holy Name
by men brought low
to their own woe
the cavalry
to Calvary
knew not why
He should die
but He knew the cause ...
no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.” —Peter Kreeft, Jesus-Shock

How The Whole World Will Come To LOVE THE RUSSIANS !!
Before the world loves the Russians, it will HATE them!!
Here's why:
First, Russia will bomb America and prevent us from launching our retaliatory strike !!
(For our military computers have been HACKED by Russia !!
And our software has been ruined !!).
Second, Russia will overrun Western Europe in a single week.
Bombing 3 nations will be enuff to intimidate all of Europe into immediately surrendering (Daniel 7.8).
So at that point, the world will totally HATE Russia !!
Next, Russia invades Israel to "liberate Palestine"...

a dying friend
My dying friend
Today I met a friend
at the local café.
He had lost wight
his days were numbered.
No, he was not
afraid of death
it held no promises
of everlasting life.
I feared he might
say something stupid
as forgiving
his enemy, why should he?
Or say I love
to someone
he didn´t love,
because it was expected.
His hopes were
to be left alone
in a room and only
talk to his past
and perhaps laugh
a little,
Life had for him
Always been ridiculous

SALVATION Re-examined
There are 3 parts or phases to salvation:
(1)Justification,(2)sanctification,(3)glorification.
Justification comes first, then
sanctification, then finally, glorification.
Now, justification is that PART of salvation which a free gift, "the gift of God."
But sanctification, surprisingly, is NOT a free gift.
It's a matter of WORKS !!
As Ephesians says, "we are made for good works, to walk in them."
These good works don't come AFTER salvation - they are PART of it.
How can I justify my claim that JUSTIFICATION is a free gift,
while...

the escapist
The escapist
He is over eighty
tried to escape
down a seven-floor flat.
Safely down
using the stairs
he had forgotten
the car key.
He sat down and cried.
A voice said,
there is no escape
death will
always be with you.
Wherever you go.
