M L K 2 0 1 8: Searching for a 26-year-old Prophet

On a Monday

At 4:01 p.m.

Suspended between winter twilight

..  and despair

I wondered if all the poets were gone.

It was harder to breath the air.

 

There was a ricochet from a dream.

 

A child of a former slave-owner

..  sat beside

The child of a former slave

Not eating they waited

..  Sweating blood

For the Man’s four children

 

Dying from the unquenchable thirst

Into an oasis of liberation

Captives of righteousness

.. become Children of Light

They wait for their kin

.. Into the night

 

Rescued from god

Searching for a 26-year-old Prophet

Faith and Moral Leaders Prepare for Direct Actions

“We, as people of faith and moral conscience, pledge to support the resistance of laws and policies that threaten the safety of targeted communities.

Will you join me by taking action on this campaign?

Pope Francis told the Belgian Catholic weekly “Tertio” that spreading disinformation was “probably the greatest damage that the media can do” and using communications for this rather than to educate the public amounted to a sin.

Using precise psychological terms, he said scandal-mongering media risked falling prey to coprophilia, or arousal from excrement, and consumers of these media risked coprophagia, or eating excrement.

The Argentine-born pontiff excused himself for using such terms in order to get his point across while answering a question about the correct use of the media.

“I think the media have to be very clear, very transparent, and not fall into — no offese intended — the sickness of coprophilia, that is, always wanting to cover scandals, covering nasty things, even if they are true,” he said.

“And since people have a tendency towards the sickness of coprophagia, a lot of damage can be done.”
