Inspired by watching Avatar Korra

The leaf in the wind
indulging your mighty strength
freedom is more

To trust raw power
like burning roots to char
cinders dust embers

To fear the lost good
to seek protection from harm
prison in despair

Free your mind, spirit
relent from amassing it
wisdom is more

How can you be free
carring heavy burdens - faith?
Trust is obscure...

The seasons mingle
brute force aside
time shall pass on!

Who shall learn poetry?

1.

The choicest wines never tasted Heaven;

the finest meals are disgusted of Grace. –

To the witty pupils the odds are never even,

to write in blood and guts, is like loosing face.

2.

“The Rich” and “The Haughty” never ponder;

how to give heed and where to find words.

For them Money and Grifts are all the wonders,

besides their own might and the tip of the sword…

3.

“The Brash” and “The Sublime” can't be tested;

in the arts of Poetry so divine…

If a pauper happens – they already bested;

for they see only what has been refined.

4.

“Dignified speech makes decent manners!”

“Polite dress determines your house!”

All who say thus, never go under the banners,

til' they havent swatted every louse…

5.

Poetry and Virtue – only in bookstores;

bought, resold, bargained and worshiped in statues.

Never be lived for who wants to be “The Sore”,

who is called names for paying the dues.

6.

Honest reprisal, the writers unfastened quill –

like a brigand in the woods, the outlaw at hills!

That's why all the lies go astray loafing in beguile;

for they see no use to fight the lost Bills…

7.

Poetry is like the shreak of madness;

no man shall challenge, who is sound and sane…

For those, who truly see – only sadness,

can be their companion and gain!

8.

If you seek “Merry” or “Jolly laughter”;

don't seek the arts of Poetry.

For even if some can write it stauncher;

the price to be paid still is poverty...

Is Jesus a prophet?

„Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.” Luke 7:39

Very often, when the opportunity presents itself to talk about Jesus, it is delivered in a way what could be called: “We are the fandom of something and because this we do thus and are right so!” The sane way was with the pharisee, who invited into his house the rising super-start preacher who has already had some miracles and the gossip around him had swollen tremendously. So it was important to be on the picture, just in case Jesus takes the lead as did their ancestors. It is important for a man of great knowledge and skill to show off his awesome teachings and prowess. And then comes along a sinful woman a wastes an entire alabaster flask of fragrant oil. Let's not tarry about how much the oil cost and how that was meant to fulfill the prophecies and to bury Jesus Christ. I guess we all have heard our fair share of that kind of sermons, and they are indeed good – this sermon however focuses on an entire different topic just as the chosen quote would suggest.

The pharisee had a problem: He didn't want to come in contact with sin! He's dislike with sin went to such lengths that by seeing a sinful woman, he didn't think how to help this poor woman out of her misery. Just as for businessmen these days religious people can become that kind of men as well there its your own fault if you messed up. It's your own fault if you get born into the wrong family or hang out with the wrong crowd or believe into the wrong code of honor… If you there wise you had chosen better. And that's the point there the pharisees of old prided themselves – because they there there to get the job done. And they wanted they religious job to be done so great that even the friends of Job would have been proud of it! Damn, how good they there, if to quote Duke Nukem…

That pharisee didn't even wanna know how could Jesus help her out – it was out of the question that a sinful could be helped unless he/she pays the legal fee of being sinful and suffers the sacrifices in life to become a pious woman. I mean she could have started with baby steps and offered pigeons – the cheapest offering service available… oh right – the expensive oil… that could have been a nice gift for the poor and needy or at least to pay for the Nabiric disciples who couldn't afford to end they ritual of not drinking and eating anything related to grapes and whine. They theren't even allowed to shave. But that foolish woman wastes it all on Jesus – ample proof how sinful she really is, in the pharisees mind. Maybe Jesus likes that? Maybe Jesus is not that great at all? Maybe he had indecent thoughts about that sinful woman – for clearly Jesus Christ must have heared the gossip about her! A prophet would know! And this thought does not give the pharisee a rest – because he invited this man into his house and behind his table, and what does it say it about him and his faithfulness that he sits and eats and drinks with sinful people who haven't suffered the rigors of training to denounce this world for the other realm promised to the chosen few. Shouldn't a prophet know betters not to engage himself with the wrong kind of people so their lives wouldn't get too much attention? So embarrassing – maybe even a renowned member of the society could loose his face if this sinful woman gets her life back… Maybe her sinfulness was in regards to a man and what he chose to not do – like marrying her, for it was against the law to have sex outside of marriage and if a woman was too naive and let herself be had like that or even raped, but living in a family who could not ask for vengence, it was her problem not the mans. He could just shake his hands and claim he was seeing a harlot and that is not against the law for men to fuck harlots and not marry them… It's still the problem of the middle-east that women get wronged that way.

And indeed lord Jesus Christ has a say against that man with the simple and blunt question: “Who would love their creditor more – the man who oved 500 units of money or the man owing 50? It's a no-brainer – anybody could answer that. But what anybody dost not listen or hear is the quote what Jesus might be referring to. Jer 13:12 “Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “Every bottle shall be filled with wine.” ’ And they will say to you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every bottle will be filled with wine?’

In there God let his prophet again use a no-brainer. The pharisee is so sure that lord Jesus Christ is no prophet – how could he, if he dost not mind the impure touch of the sinful!! He is so amused about the blindness of the hot-shot preacher that the answer what is coming, is like reminding somebody how every bottle in the factory shall be filled and that means something ominous about his spiritual life. And then the shitty blame starts: “You gave me no water!” even if Jesus was no prophet it was proper code before you had dinner that you had to ritualistically wash your hands and feet so you would not eat sinfully and bring woe to the house. So a pharisee, who just about now was so mindful about the sinfulness of a probable harlot didn't even give a fuck the possible corruption what could besiege Jesus, if he eats with unclean hands! On another passage the pharisees minded about it like hell – oh right, they minded it in the face of the disciples and not directly into Jesus… “You gave me no kiss!!” it might sound odd for two men kissing these days – or not so much – back then it was like shaking your hand. Again, you could not sit into the table with somebody you there so disgusted about as to not share a kiss with him. Please be mindful that the pharisee was inviting in a prophet but did not deliver that… ouch! “You didn't anoint my head with oil!” Well, he had a really big problem with the oil of the poor woman, but there was his oil now?? I mean if he would have had his stand admitting that Jesus is Christ by anointing him with oil – that would have really been a deed in faith worthy to be mentioned next to Abraham and Isaac. But the pharisee is thoughtful and wanted to know first before he put everything on one stock… Ain't that smart for a businessman of faith! And all these contempts there verified with the deeds of that woman who the pharisee missed, for he only saw sin and not the person behind the sin!

How about you – are you worshiping lord Jesus Christ for personal gain, for you too are a businessman of faith, or are you in it for the sinful and wretched you could help, like Jesus did?

Sin-eater

Your sins be mine, my blessings be yours;

your soul real fine, I shall protect you from Hell's doors!

Your demons I bind, to me the ravens chores;

you shall thee in Heaven find, I will suffer for mores!

Tühi haud

1.

„Miks vaatate siia, haud on ju tühi;

miks otsite Jeesust surnute seast!

Las minna need surnud, et maetaks omad;

kuid sina, kes kristlane – järgi Jumalat...”

2.

Nii ütles ingel ja Taevasse lendas;

jüngrid vaid nõutult vaatasid tõtt.

Kaks Maarjat leinasid lohutult kõrval,

et nende tunnistus ei kõlvanud üht!

3.

„Miks vaatate tänna, kus komejant vastu

veres; tules ja suitsus teeb tööd?

Jõulud on rahuks ja mitte kaubaks;

et koju võiks jõuda ka sulane...”

4.

Nii kutsub Jeesus peatumaid kanu;

tibusid, keda saaks emana hoida.

Nende pead ammugi õõtsumas taevas –

Arkaadia väljadel unus valitud mesi!

5.

„Võltsid ja labased on palvused pikad;

vastikud vaadata härraste ohvrid!

Kes annab piskust ja kes toovad küllast:

ei ole võrdsed need südame mõõdud!”

6.

Nii ütleb tunnistus kristlase hinges:

Pühas Vaimus on lohutus saadud!

Talendid koju ja võõrsile relvis;

palged seletust andku ka rajal...

7.

„Aeg on, et alata kirikust aru;

pidada pühakus esmalt on käsk!

Mõõk raiu süütumat, kirves löö toorest;

sikud lammastest lahuta tõest!”

8.

Oh armas Jeesus, kes oleme meie!

Kärvanud koerad ja kõhetund sead;

muttide nõukoda, nahkhiirte tarind;

pimedad kurttummad kõik meie targad!

9.

„Selita kulda ja räbu kõik hülga;

sulata hõbedat, pilasta tina.

Vaske valitse kaledal südamel;

pronksi karjatse kartmatul pilgul!”

10.

Oh, Jumal Taevas, me hüljatud hõbe!

Oh, Jeesus Kristus, me tuhmunud kuld!

Kui sina sõrmega puudutad ohvreid,

roojaseks muutub nii kandja kui särk!

11.

„Kes ise alandab südames ennast;

hinge lõikab käris'tes ümber.

Ei see pea minu karikat jooma;

kildusid närima koirohuks eht!”

12.

Kuidas peaks sündima kohtlasel tarkus;

kuidas peaks tulema albile au?

Iikabod valitseb, Haas-Bas toob tõivu;

Maher Salal kirikus võidumees!

13.

„Seepärast, Altarid, saate kõik põrmuks;

jala all tallatud pühitset' sool!

Et käändus võõra isanda poole,

preestrite käsi ja selg ning ka põu...”

14.

Pühitset' tões on kõik sinu sõnad;

umbrohtu kitkudes mõtle ka kehval.

Kui raiud seedreid ja palme – jäta meil kännud –

siis seeme kandmas on õiglaselt vilja!

15.

„Kes minu omist läheks Soodoma;

kes minu sulaseist rüüstaks Gomorrat?

Mine sa, kuri vaim, täiesti emane;

kiuslikud kaalud sa sulata lokku!”

16.

„Mine ja sajata pilkaja killavoor;

kes ise kirjades täitnud on seinad!

Lubjatud ausambad – kuigi ei minu poolt –

kuse neil kodades aknad ja nurgad!!”

17.

„Kes langeb uhkusest, kes langeb palgist;

kes langeb sõimust, kes liha sees pinnust!

Kes langeb ohvrist, kes õiglase hõirust...

kuni on sööti jäänd lesknaise künad!”

18.

Püha, oh Püham Sa, Kirkaimast Pühim!

Oled Sa Olnud ja Igavest Jääd;

Jeesus, mu Ainuke, too jõuluks koju

Hea Tahe Rahus, mis laulis kord ingel!

19.

Anna meil armu, sel lõppeval aastal;

heida me uuele halastav pilk!

Vahest ehk variser käristab hõlma;

vahest ehk saduser püherdab tuhas...

20.

Vahest ehk paladin kummardub maani,

ei tõsta puuslikku, Su kohale end;

vahest ehk nasiir viinast jääb kaineks;

joobudes Sinust vaid kõigile kasuks...

21.

„Õndsad on jõulu a'al küpsiste kandjad;

õndsad on päkapikk, jõulumees vana.

Õndsad on memmed ja tütarde salgad,

kes kõik on vaaritand; koristand talus!”

22.

„Õnnis on lapsemeel – Tarkusest veatu –

mis veel ei proovitud õpetus himus!

Lapselik hing ja tänulik süda –

parem kui Vatikan; Raamatud; Mõigud!”

Savior

1.

On the battlefields of old, on the scaffolds of today;

when the news is toilet paper – nothing weighed for worth as Gold.

Talk is cheap and has no silver-tongues, no wise-man has a say;

when some leftovers are right or wrong! – Is there anyone so Bold..?

2.

No brave Hero has a stalwart guard to witness the just cause;

only renegades and mercenaries freelance in the crowd.

Corpses running headless on the streets and relentless the applause;

then the crows and ravens gather round and peck the fallen crown…

3.

Listen, stranger, who you wish to part the world for your own ways;

Saviors aren't born in Heaven, they're forged in Hell's feisty strife!

Before Lady Luck can smile on you so many yeah's turn to nay's –

It's not the armor and the shield and not the silent knife…

4.

Sometimes mercy is so betters than a mace or offering –

true lords never glee on famished souls and their destinies embrace.

True gratitude and honest praise more boons to you can bring;

than the swordsmanship of mighty foes and knightly honored Grace!

5.

Virtue begets in the merits of the Hollowed and Divine;

don't loose your spirit and your soul to arbiter bad faith.

Wanting to be more than Self can lead to the ends ravine;

for the marble statues dost not cheer whatever may be sayeth!

6.

Hundred friends are more worth than is fame of prophecies and saints;

suicides and martyrs parodies are costly subtle plays…

Hundred families at peace – more than any artist paints;

more than any writers ferocious quilted “Hey's!”…

7.

On the battlefields of old, on the scaffolds of today;

nothing yet is lost for good if you can relent from merchants: “Sold!”

Smallest critters can be warriors if learning how to pray –

trusting on thyself impending quests and on your friends as told!

8.

Come, my Saviors of Faith, come thy darkest saints of sinners;

like a crimson and clovered wraith, like the pawn of broken dreams!

Come, and save us from our stakes what can make us to beginners;

the hour is neigh to have a stand and win for the promised meadow realms...
