What is Easter? Is there any point? What did it cost Jesus and why? Evil despairs of love!

The Cost
Roughly handled, bruising flesh, deliberately hurting
grabbed wrists, tied to abloody post, clothes ripped
away from his now public exposed, vulnerable back.
—
Bowed to the inevitable, he prayed for the men around,
and as the first stroke struck his soft flesh, he groaned,
and prayed for healing for creation, hearing its screams.
—
Each stroke for the hungry, the abused, belittled,…

The Boat of Fools
A tiny craft floated oblivious on the bloodied water;
while there, under them, pale, oppressed, sad people,
the boat pushes its way through bloated bodies, still
ignoring the calls for help, clinging to their future..
—
On that boat, warm, fed, clothed and safe they ply
their inward thinking, eyes turned towards treasure,
making arms, making money, increasing wealth
and killing folk who…

23rd Psalm for Today
War is my Shepherd.
I will always want,
It’ll make you lie down in your own blood,
and leads the world to disaster.
It destroys my soul.
It makes me walk in paths of unrighteousness
for its own names sake.
Yeah, Even though I walk through the vale of death,
I will continue to cause children harm and fear,
For you, hatred and impunity, are with me,
your bombs and your guns –
comfort…

Christmas Now and Then (2)
Donkeys fart,
Animals smell,
The Oxen urinated nearby,
while she laboured on.
—-
Joseph went for food and water
while the midwife helped her through,
She screamed and yelled
for countless hours.
—
The baby came in the early hours,
sweet new smells in the stable,
Mary exhausted. Lay Back,
It is finished, she said.
—-
The baby cried, lonely now,
and together they sought…

Christmas Then and Now
Homeless, hunted,
humans and animals,
food was scarce in the poor shelter,
and life was cheap to the powers that oppress.
—–
Pregnant in a wasteland,
like herded animals,
giving birth to children. For what fair future?
In a desert of war and violent vengeance.
—
Babies first breath,
hushed in fearfulness,
a mother fears to love her own,
for the heartbreak of loss in an uncertain…

COP28
The plastic bottle bowled over the blameless landscape,
Desert sands in rainbow colours shimmered and
shifted in the heat, where nothing else moved.
—
The burned stark black branches of trees bore
the memory of a people, who seldom cared,
and rarely looked to see their harmful ways.
—
Priceless jewels winked from their nests of gold
left behind while someone died, now undisturbed
except…

Jesus and the Mob -
Angry men
turned away.
Duplicitous hearts
awry.
Stones dropped,
clattering on the
silent track
and
he watched them
curdled consciences.
Lust in their loins
for a broken woman.
He writes,
in the dust,
diffused
the deadly mob.
—
She stooped,
bowed shoulders,
a shame ridden
conscience,
felt the threat
dissolve.
Only he now
to judge her.
—-
Looks at her,
sees pain,
fear,…

War on Ourselves
(A Ship of Fools on the Rocks)
terrible images move on the screen, behind my eyes and in my brain,
grafting in me the fear that death and hell are let loose in every terrain,
gradually the shape of human kindness like milk looses its savour,
and pools ungraciously in the stink of the piles of rotting human flesh.
——–
humanity has crashed on the rocks, a burning ship of fools,
looking down…
