The good book, the bad book, and all the others!

Perplexed!


 


 


Don’t you know?


It’s quite clear


I see it written here


I say, read more often dear


 


I read the book, and I was told


That thousands in his fold


Would tell that story bold


Join and fit the mould


 


The man in Rome


Got it from the catacomb


Goes through it with a fine tooth comb


Every day in Latin tone


 


Infallibility he claims


To keep his flock in chains


Not sinister his aims


Save them from Hindus or the Jains


 


And those in temples not of his


Not shy that book to kiss


But his omnipresence miss


Up the wrong tree piss


 


So much bitterness and hurt


Fighting words and slinging dirt


With disaster they do flirt


The wisdom of the Lord to court


 


Not bereft of where to find


For you the wisdom if they’re kind


To find their own, be in a bind


Tell them all kiss my behind!

Jasmin, this one makes me smile because you've got 'attitude' and the ending showcases that perfectly. You touch upon a truth: it is the reader who brings his own mindset to the book - be it the Bible, or any other book indeed.

love to you,
Gina

The good book - regardless of your beliefs -- is a map for your life. But, like following some maps, sometimes we take the wrong turn or find a detour posted. Still the map is good, we just need to get on the right road.

Blessings,
Kathy
