QUICK..., SLOW.., SLOW...

(From Yeshua's little brother, James's letter ch1:18-27

"Remember this, my dear brothers! Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry. Human anger does not achieve God's righteous purpose. So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you.  Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice. If you listen to the word, but do not put it into practice you are like people who look in a mirror and see themselves as they are. They take a good look at themselves and then go away and at once forget what they look like. But if you look closely into the perfect law that sets people free, and keep on paying attention to it and do not simply listen and then forget it, but put it into practice—you will be blessed by God in what you do.  Do any of you think you are religious? If you do not control your tongue, your religion is worthless and you deceive yourself. What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of the fatherless and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world."

My dear brothers let
everyone of you
not ever forget
but prove to be True,

the Way of Life which
(or should I say “who”?)
came here as “the stitch
in Time” (which then “flew”),

mod’ling the culture
of Eternity;
(unlike a vulture)
gives its self to feed;

gets its food from light
& wind that it breathes,
water (out of sight)
is sucked up by trees;

thus they make their food,
happily share their fruit.
God's plan is not rude,
quite complex, and “beaut.”

I recall him clear:
quick (as wolf, or cat)
to listen, & hear,
& not only that,

listens actively,
not passive, though “still”,
not just “fact-ively”,
“feelingly” until

“living listening”
was his clear trademark.
God's word glistening
in his ear to start,

his ear “ringed” – (a slave),
& to others too
listening love behaved
as a man who's true.

Words were carefully saved,
not quickly let out,
thus his road was paved,
“slow to speak” - no doubt.

Words were to “build up”
and convey true love
so questions filled up
instead of angry shoves,

well, slow to anger
not quick fused from self's
rights violated,
his anger had health,

and was born of love,
as this one was sent
& borne from above:
“QUICK..., SLOW.., SLOW...” it went!

Instead of just words
good acts have to come;
corruption (this World's)
swept out; “all”, not “some”.
