fragments  of angry men

cheeks dead
lips glued
belly sore
heart lame

frowns strut
immune to joy
smiles delay
craving touch

no humans dwells 
among their dead
spirit's sour
when bodies pass

lemons mix
sweetening the punch
but no bond ferments
'cept an exodus from prayer

formaldehyde zombies
are enshrined
who will fit them
together again

their plague passes on
hungry for Sun 



*The problem for or with Jesus is that we have made him a "religion" instead of someone we follow.

*One never kills the baby because someone else may abort it!




*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -To pray is to set out, to love, to write, to paint, and to die at each instant.

  -...prayer rises up from the heart of life.

  -"Prayer is not perfect", Cassien says, "if the one who prays is aware of himself and realizes that he is praying."

  -...we often try to use God as a tool.  Praying is a struggle.  It's a matter of going beyond faith in one's own thoughts in order to rediscover the original faith.

  -Naturally, God doesn't need prayers.  Let's stop turning him into a potentate anxious for homage.  It's you and I who need prayer so that we will no longer be alone, in order to get out of our shells and rejoin the universal body of love.  We can't link up with others without passing through what is furthest away; to get there it's necessary to lose one's identity.  It's in that loss that I can find you, that you can find yourself.  To pray is therefore to introduce love, humor, and death into every action and ideology.  Hence prayer is the revolutionary act par excellence, the very opposite of alienation.

  -Politeness is the surest way of keeping one's distance.
