John’s disciples are always fasting.
Yours go on eating and drinking.
And we , are we just waiting.
Asking ourselves, is he coming.There is no one way.
All are equally just.
We all are entitled to our say.
Just as we are to our crust.

But everything in moderation.
Nothing excessive.
Will lead we hope to ascension.
But we need to send a missive.

Asking in the next life for eternity.
And in this for love and fraternity.

….

We’re always fasting
And we’re eating and drinkng
But what is the way

….

See Luke 5 : 33-39

Who will climb the mountain.
Who will claim this holy place.
To set us on the right lane.
And win our life race.I dreamt that every time I was angry.
I conjured up an illuminated cross.
The anger then fled my memory.
And frankly I felt no loss.

Then I dreamt that I had lost money.
But thought of the rich man and the the eye of the needle.
And the loss just seemed quite funny.
And really in life’s great scheme, quite feeble.

And so we adjust.
As we always must.

……..

We climb the mountain
Or we may finally fall
It is just our fate

…….

See Psalm 23

Then Peter spoke up.
You are the Christ.
Who will pass the cup.
And be sacrificed.

It was not flesh and blood.
That revealed this.
Overcoming doubts’ flood
We cannot miss this.You are Peter and on this rock.
I will build my church.
Unlocking finally mortality’s lock
Completing our search.

This we know .
We cannot say no.

…….

Then Peter spoke up
You are the Christ son of God
But do we believe

……..

See Matthew 16 : 13-19

I tell you solemnly.
No prophet is ever accepted in his own country.
All that advice is very timely.
As we think of heaven’s entry.

They sprang to their feet.
And hustled him out of town.
And we too maybe as we search for his seat.
He was just telling the truth not seeking renown.But he slipped through the crowd.
And walked away.
So don’t speak it too loud.
But you may be here to stay.

Can we speak our mind.
Will others mind.

…….

Are prophets accepted
Speaking in their own country
Well of course they’re not

…….

See Luke 4 : 16-30

This people honours me only with lip service.
While their hearts are far from me.
We too do him a disservice.
We do not know what will make us truly free.The worship they offer me is worthless.
The doctrines they teach are only human regulations.
We are given so much , we give back a lot less.
Just adding to our tensions.

I question all these rules still today.
Can we not rely on pure spirituality.
Perhaps we should just concentrate on his ray.
Not on doctrinal  conformity.

Rules will not free us.
They will bind us.

…….

We give lip service
But where are our hearts truly
Do we really know

……..

See Mark 7
