Fundamentalism

About France Travel G10 Pyrenees-19 111

 

A definition proposed by the eminent scholars Martin Marty and R. Scott Appleby

: “[Fundamentalisms] are embattled forms of spirituality, which have emerged as a response to a perceived crisis. They are engaged in a conflict with enemies whose secularist policies and beliefs seem inimical to religion itself”

War is not declared

The shadows on our world converge just here.
Violent death has spread from battlegrounds
So all  of us must live unnerved by fear

War is not declared, the  process veered
Off the page and into minds unsound
The shadows on our world converge just here.

More people die from flu than bombs of spears
Why must humans honour death profound?
Most  of us shall live unnerved by fear

The boundaries collapsed like cardboard  tiers
The safety of  the home has quite unwound
So all  of us must live unnerved by fear.

We too inhabit worlds unlike those near.
Civil life now’s buried underground
Folk in  their private bubble , phone to ear

Both inside and without  the echoes sing
To   try to  measure  what is most  profound
The shadows on our world emerge  right here.
Where  our rulers  help us live in instant fear

 

Don’t call your child this…Patta Wolf.

And people looked like watercolour flies

 
The morning  sun still low in winter  sky
Made brilliant light with darker shadows thrown.
And  people looked like watercolour flies
As ,  nonchalant ,through the  shopping mall they roamed.
So here we see in colours black and white
We do not see the usual shades and hues.
And so inside our mind, a too great light
May prejudice our judgement and our views.
We learn to understand by metaphors.
As did our unthought ancestors before.
Jesus was our  Shepherd   and neighbour
We were sheep not wolves with slavering jaws
What we see depends upon the light.
And , where we stand and when , invites the sight

Vengeance

IMG_0163

I’ve been reading and thinking about revenge, retaliation and hate.And forgiveness.
If we ruminate over past harm done to us ,we never recover let alone forgive.
So the Christian Liturgy on Good Friday [now altered  to be less offensive by the  Pope.A little late in the day] by constantly reminding us of the allegation that the Jews were responsible for Jesus’s death means we’ve been ruminating for 2,000years on this.And Christians wrote the gospels. a good few years after the events..the true story may be different.
Inany case we were taught it was God’s will that Jesus should die
But should we not in any case forgive?
After  all, the Jewish religiongave uss Jesus too.Should we not thank them for this?
Should we not have gratitude?
Should we wonder at a God who needs his son to die anyway  [it’s a fertility ritual I believe in ancient times?]And now we hate  foreigners and no doubt all Jews except Jesus,Mary, and a few others.Yes, when you mock Jews you mock him.He died as a practising Jew.

Study Christ

Christians on Good Friday study Christ
The sadomasochistic details emphasised.
They fact that he was Jewish, the surprise.

About the Jews, they’re  killed again by lies.
Their own religion often we deride.
Christians on Good Friday murder twice.

Not to worry, in three days he’ll rise.
The Jews  will suffer as the long years slide
The fact that he was Jewish, the surprise.

What is in their minds, what’s their surmise?
Vengeance is the province of the Lord
The Stations of the Cross opened my eyes.

So I see, two thousand years have flown
I see the  cherubim with their great swords
The fact that our God’s  Jewish, the surprise.

With me, no gentle Joshua does abide.
We’ve all been taken for a  lengthy ride.
Christians on Good Friday wound their Christ
They fact that he’s half  Jewish, oh, surprise!

I guess they like to play Afghanistan.

They say they dropped the biggest ever  bomb
Just what we’d expect from Satan’s tool.
Remember Hiroshima in Japan?

 

I guess they like to play Afghanistan.
Power not love is usually the rule
They say they dropped  a huge non-nuclear  bomb

If bombs exist they’ll use them where they can.
It’s hard to tell a wise man  from a  fool
Remember Hiroshima in Japan?

 

I  guess Jack Horner loved his ripe red plum.
They learned no ethics in his Christian school
They say they  put a rocket   with his bomb

What advisers gave the man aplomb?
He  orders while he eats dessert, so cool
Remember Nagasaki in Japan?

It’s not a film, we can’t rewind the spool.
Men watch it  while their lips contort  and drool
They say they dropped the biggest ever  bomb
They forgot  Hiroshimans tortures in Japan
