On Mass and two new poems

From Mass today. “an eye for an eye” versus Jesus saying “turn the other cheek”‘ when struck on the face. I think there is difference between loving passivity and total forgiveness. To really be forgiven the perpetrator has to repent and ask for it.

“Advice” by yours truly

Do not have nightmares about paying. bills.

“Vow of Silence” by yours truly

Do not talk to strangers,

And they are all strangers.

“No! No strangers.”

Do not sleep in mangers,

And  avoid dangers

Such as your own angers.
