Ballad Of The Rude Monk Poem by Kostas Lagos

Ballad Of The Rude Monk



Yesterday a rude monk I met

on his knees was praying

the church was filled with his loud voice

biblic rhymes he was saying



My friend, can I help you, I asked

something you want or need?

Hush, direspectful priest, he said

go find hymns to read



I am pious, devoted to God

don't disrupt me like that

You've got my intentions all wrong,

didn't want your song to cut



Yes you did, you did on purpose

you're for the Church disgrace

he said to me and then by God

I punched him in the face

Obviously this monk should take a vow of silence. It would save him many noses. Your poem is humorous but on a deeper level one should always fight for his faith, fight with the spirit not with the flesh.

Punch the infidels! Heheh! It would be interesting...Yes, the fight for ones faith should have no trace of physical violence.Thank you!

Going through your poem I felt the event as true but from your poet's note it is a fiction. Enjoyed your beautiful poem with humour.

Sometimes we meet people that are arrogant and troublesome. They need punch in the face. But it is better to ignore to avoid a long battle. A wonderful story that makes me laugh. Well crafted write, Father Kostas. Enjoyed reading it.10+++++
