Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Seemingly submissive words,
words of humility to our ears
Words of power, provocative, creative
turning the table on power
making the powerful follow through
on the law, pay the price
for the weak, using the law
to control their fate
to stand tall, not humbly
before injustices

November 19 and November 23, 2007 6:36pm
Matthew 5:38-48
The parable of turning the other cheek,
retold in the sermon by Reverend Peter Hey,
November 11, 2007, Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH
