Tax Collectors And Whores-Τελώνες Και Πόρνες Poem by Kostas Lagos
Tax Collectors And Whores-Τελώνες Και Πόρνες
Hush!
Stop talking
about morality and decent
behaviour and courtesy.
Here, the Bridegroom is coming
surrounded by His escort
Tax collectors and harlots, bandits and beggars
Look, how they pave the way
for the Kingdom of Heavens
Πάψε!
Μη μιλάς άλλο
για ηθική και κόσμια
συμπεριφορά και ευγένεια.
Ιδού ο Νυμφίος έρχεται
με την ακολουθία Του.
Τελώνες και πόρνες, ληστές και ζητιάνοι
Δες τους πως ανοίγουν το δρόμο
της Βασιλείας των Ουρανών
i'll take a wild guess that you meant Kingdom or King. hmm? Tax Collectors in a title always provokes me to look at the poem; tax collectors ARE hot! ! . but, wherefore art retired postal workers? ? i read a haiku [which i wasn't sure was REALLY a haiku] of yours yesterday but ran out of time on computer before completing and submitting a comment. (continued) ...
A beautifully crafted thought provoking poem. Well penned.10
Look, how they pave the way for the Kigdom of Heavens.........here is the essence of the poem. Nice presentation. Thank u.

(cont.) ... the poem WAS 3 lines; so far so good. it was about five loaves and two fish(es) and LOVE feeding thousands. now i 'can't find the poem so i'll say now, here: What! ! ? NO MEAT AND VEGGIES! ? ? ? bri :)
Yes, Kingdom was the word but the n button responds whenever it wants to.Yes, again, it wasn't really a haiku, only its form.No meat, no veggies, so there would be no conflict between vegans and meat-eaters. P.S. Postal workers are out of the hot list 2018.Maybe next year
