From The Jesus Papers... (Part Two) Poem by Eric Cockrell
From The Jesus Papers... (Part Two)
'Follow Me...'
can i walk beside You?
i want to see what You do,
i want to be what You do!
i want to get my hands dirty.
feed the hungry, share what i've got....
heal the sick, listen with the heart.
not so much worried about calming the storm,
i just want to stop the wars!
stand up to the political and religious leaders...
i'm with You!
'forgive to be forgiven...'
'let him who is without sin
cast the first stone...'
'the kingdom of heaven
is within you...'
yeah, i knew that one!
'if you do it to one of the least of these...'
same thing! we are all joined!
sweating drops of blood, we've done that.
crucified between two thieves,
i probably know them!
thank Thee for this evening's walk!

I think the start of any religion was done with a good intention. But it could change us into monsters, the history proved it. Maybe all we need is to keep a good ballance... Forgiveness can be understood in different ways. I see it as a tool for keeping one's loving heart. If we wouldn't find forgiveness in one heart we could also find no trace of love...But as a system forgiveness shall be given with the same amount with fairness.Quite difficult because many of us may have fairness measured in a different scale. Great poem, an open door to worlds of thought, thank you for share!
