FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON

    Blue shorts, stained white shirt,
    street market playground of dust and dirt.

    Without the moral imperative of must
    and the enforced need to understand,
    he dances in a circle,
    holding a yellowed bodhi leaf in each hand.

    With all the self-assurance of thirty inches high,
    he has no need to wonder how or when or why.

HELLO!

NAKED

Standing under the Tree of Knowledge, 

  the man identified with his body

 
And felt naked 

And started to use the skins of other beings
to hide in.

Then he identified with his mind

And felt naked

And started to use the thoughts of other beings
to hide in. 

A LIABILITY IS AN ASSET IN DISGUISE

Don't make the MOST of the LIABILITY

........

 

Make the BEST of the ASSET

FRIENDLY PERSUASION

In Islam
if a man stops
stealing,
they stop
cutting off
his hands.

DOMESTIC BLISS

It's easy to see the Difference between a Ray of Sunshine and a Saucepan with a Grievance.

THE VICTIM

What goes round, comes round. Not quite.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Not quite.
As you sow, so are you reaped. Nearly.
What you sow, is what you become. YES.
We kill and we are killed.
Sow the aggressor and you become the victim.

        What is the fruit of aggression?

  The victim
       Professor Aziz becomes Felix.

DESTINY

            An acorn is born
              to fulfil its destiny

                  

to become an Oak Tree.

      

Are you fulfilling your destiny?

 Or merely heading towards

 your destination?
    

SCALES OF JUSTICE

    It is not easy to sympathise with         the oppressor

    and not say that the victim
    was asking for it.   

  

    It is not easy to sympathise with         the victim 

    and not blame his oppressor.

If the inescapable future is seen, however,

Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

There is only room for compassion.

FREEDOM?

                      In your pursuit of Freedom TO

Have you lost sight of Freedom FROM?

OXFORD BLUES

"DOMINUS ILLUMINATIO MEA"
Let God be my Light

  MORE than 200,000           animals were killed
  by Oxford University         after research in 2012.

NOT REALLY!

ISRAELITE STYLE

Moses scratched on a tablet of stone
THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
Moses and Joshua were told
"And you will destroy all the peoples that the LORD your GOD will give unto you."
They destroyed sixty cities along with many walled and unwalled villages.
(And the inhabitants.)

SOUTH AMERICAN STYLE

Papa Francis says He and
his priests can forgive abortion.
Papa is wrong
Abortion is a label for killing.
Only the victim can forgive.

Es audiendo, Papa?

NO FORGIVENESS ITALIAN STYLE

Pope Urban 11 promised peasants forgiveness from God for all their sins if they joined the crusade. Christians killed thousands of Muslims and Jews. Jewish and Muslims inhabitants fought together to defend Jerusalem. Crusaders entered the city on 15 July 1099. They massacred the inhabitants and pillaged the city.  

ENGLISH STYLE

In 1155, Pope Hadrian IV (an Englishman) gave Ireland to King Henry II of England. He urged Henry to invade Ireland to bring its church under the Roman system and to reform the barbaric and impious people of Ireland. (They were neither).

TIME FLIES

Time flies
through summer and through wintry skies;
measures elephants and butterflies,
marks where this is born and that one dies.
See the world dissolve and fade before your dying eyes!
