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
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+++++
I'm glad you enjoyed it so I don't have to punch you too! Thanks a lot!
Do not punch people in the face.Even if they are irritating! Thank you!

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!
