The most ignored verse is

“My kingdom is not

of this world.”

People fight left and right

over property rights —

some in the neighborhood

coveting land and sand

by an

inland sea

as well as others lusting

forever over

dusty, dry, deserted desert

as far as the eye can

see

beside the great Dead Sea.

Good grief, the covenant

people, if they were

going for the great

land grab of that and

this era,

at least, should have

turned left and made it

to Thessalonica,

or more correctly,

Thessaloniki,

home of the

the tiny, weeny,

Greek bikini.
