17th February 2019 – Epiphany 6C (COCU 14C)

UNCLEAN SPIRITS?
(Luke 6:17-26)
Purposeful, engrossed,
gritty, passionate, constant;
perhaps all well-meant.

Taking varied forms,
these spirits strangely intrude
and take us over.

How many of us,
troubled with unclean spirits,
reach for his garment?
        Jeff Shrowder, 2019
 
AS FOR THEIR ANCESTORS
Bless’d for being poor,
hungry, sad, hated and more,
they suffer, but hope.

Woe to you and you
who are rich, humoured, or filled
with self-importance.
        Jeff Shrowder, 2019
