Gospel (Lk 6: 39-42)
Why note the splinter in your brother’s eye,
And nev’r notice the log within your own?
Why tell, ‘I’ll take the splinter off your eye,
When you can’t see the log in yours? ’
You hypocrite!
‘Take out the log from your eye first,
When only you can see clearly;
Then take the splinter out from brother’s eye! ’
Many a time, we never know
Nor do we ever realize
Our own great faults and blunders made
But always try to give advice
Unto others on flimsy grounds;
A wise man makes himself perfect
Before embarking on preaching;
We note the faults of others fast;
We forget sins of our own past;
We should not try to judge others;
God is the perfect Judge, brothers!

Faith Outlawed Political Oppression
enduring political oppression
without resurrection fibre faith
this then was thorny problem
splinter within pastoral Russian
psyche splinter within rustic mind
an issue not with vodka drunk blind
but appeasement flooded loss of faith
drowned as testament escapism time
that was the point under Communism
during war devastating invasion Nazism
vodka seemed to be fluid Russian soul
without faith cry liquid vodka tears

Somewhere sometime
all things will be fine
and it never seems to stop
wonder if i've met my wife
somewhere sometime
all things will be fine
and it never seems enough
splinter left
focus right
this mortal soil around me
mortal feeling i have found
surrounded by your glory
hold me now so that i never drown
and it never seems to stop
wonder if i've met my wife
splinter left
focus right
focus right

He can see the splinter in another's eye but cannot see even the beam in his own.
He who stands near the woodcutter is likely to be hit by a splinter.
The splinter in your eye is the best magnifying-glass.

Pinocchio (Fun Poem 21)
Pinocchio was a wooden boy,
who every time he lied,
his nose began to grow.
What everyone forgets is that
every time he scratched his head,
he got a splinter in his finger.

braind within its groove, The
The brain within its groove
Runs evenly and true;
But let a splinter swerve,
'T were easier for you
To put the water back
When floods have slit the hills,
And scooped a turnpike for themselves,
And blotted out the mills!

Harbor Coat
They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got
Metal shoes on wood push through our back
There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT"
They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks

Recall
`
memories
scaffold sleep's dreams
visions:
dancing with the sun
sensations
meld thought and emotion
remedy
for inevitable amnesiac
deliver
sibilant phrases
splinter
bridge to forgetfulness.

The Porcupine
Any hound a porcupine nudges
Can't be blamed for harboring grudges.
I know one hound that laughed all winter
At a porcupine that sat on a splinter.

How Many Angels Can Stand On The Point Of A Pin?
Although the Two Worlds
are so intimately linked,
how is it that they are
completely distinct?
See!
A ten-ton elephant
and a thousand soldiers
reflected in a single mirror!
Why doesn’t the glass shatter
under the weight of such an elephant?
Why does not the frame splinter
beneath the boots of such an army?

A Camel's Meditation
.With knees so wounded
Unable to bend
From so much kneeling
On the splinter strewn
Ordeal of existence,
With shoulders yoked between shafts
Of dream and reality,
And hoofs time bound
I lumber, plod, dragging
The waterlogged lifeload of desire
Across traceless tracks
Of the vast desert of infinity.

The Brain, within its Groove

The Brain, within its Groove
Runs evenly—and true—
But let a Splinter swerve—
'Twere easier for You—
To put a Current back—
When Floods have slit the Hills—
And scooped a Turnpike for Themselves—
And trodden out the Mills—

Harborcoat
They crowded up to lenin with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if its all that youve got
Metal shoes on wood push through our back
Theres a splinter in your eye and it reads react
They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out
She gathered the corners and called it her gown
Please find my harborcoat, cant go outside without it
Find my harborcoat, cant go outside without it
They crowded up to lenin with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if its all that youve got
Metal shoes on wood push through our back
Theres a splinter in your eye and it reads react, r-e-a-c-t
They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out
She gathered the corners and called it her gown
She said...
