Haikus To Disciple The Da Vinci Code
“The Da Vinci Code” is handsome, expensive-looking and filled with impressive
castles, churches, chateaus and museums. It even has a few provocative theories about history. The only thing missing is actual human beings.” David Ansen reviews the film in Newsweek, May 29, 2006
1 only thing missing
peopled, yet lifeless
like hereafter, only life
is the fire of death
2 the mona lisa
beneath crescent smile
is moon laughter deriding
eclipse of reason
3 no morse code
the da vinci code
long dashes of fantasy
stopped by dot of truth
4 last thursday’s dinner
no trite travesty
on john’s face, the cosmetics
of the last supper
5 the holy grail
the grail is no veil
for secret bride, it’s the cup
judas coveted
6 the dark con
a con when you trust
man’s wisdom, i will rather
be a fool for god
7 licence to write
write the wrong, never
wrong the right, licence must not
become the lie’s song
8 the knights templer
it is a dark night
in your temple when you make
knights templates for lies
“Well, I’ve often thought the Bible should have a disclaimer in the
front, saying, ‘This is fiction’.” British actor Ian Makellan, mocking demands that screenings of his most recent film “The Da Vinci Code” should run with
disclaimer stating its fictional basis, Newsweek May 29, 2006
9 right to disclaim
the famines have passed
we the stiff-necked pharaohs have
forgotten joseph
10 the bible code
the code of the heart
dashes in pursuit of god
full stop of fool’s talk
11 the gamaliel warning
and let them alone
men’s work will come to nothing
asses to ashes
12 to change history
the last temptation
is not sex, it's to rewrite
his story your way

This is my two cents' worth to the furore about "The Da Vinci Code". There is no need to react with unrighteous anger, perhaps even an "elegant silence" will suffice. Truth is much bigger.....
We sometimes think we have the "light" but there is more beyond, always, always...the light is always before us and always after us, what we have in our hearts is a pencil torch light!
If we react angrily, exceedingly we have made truth a prison, but if we react always with love, the truth will set everyone free and ah to taste that freedom......that was what Leonardo felt when he painted the "Last Supper".
