No Escape Poem by M.J. Lemon
No Escape
Jesus and Plato,
the West cannot escape them;
all things come in 3s.
A wonderful poem! Appreciated the underlying philosophy dear poet.....thoughtfully put.
Part 4===okay, I did my fuzzy-brained best, but I am a Disciple of Christ so I gotta go with my fav three! You are the best- cuz you make me think- -which lately is quite a feat! !
Thank you so very much, Susan. Loved your comments and observations. On one level I was riffing on the importance of 3s in Western philosophies and religions. But then again, I thought, if 3 is really so important, why do conveniently reduce everything to 2...right-wrong, good-bad...it has been going on for ages. Thanks for the thought provoking comments.
Part 3. But in the first poem, the author says there is no escape==you cannot save yourself==Only Jesus can save you... while Plato does what? philosophizes about a 3rd savior which is..... help me, Mj, I have lost myself, send Jesus, He can save me...
Well, we are stuck in a cultural mindset and have been centuries. Can we be saved?
Thought 2- -The title is different as well. No, Escape- - - -to- - - No Escape Ah-ha, I am onto something now! " No! ! ! ! " " Escape! ! ! ! " A conversation suddenly shattered when one yells, NO. ESCAPE.... as in RUN FOR IT.... as in SAVE YOURSELF... because three different entities are after you.
Susan, absolutely. Yes! One is a command while the other describes our condition.
Ah, ha! ! ! A poem I haven't read before! ! ! ! Yea! ! ! ! Looking forward to savoring the newness of a fresh poem or is it savoring the freshness of a new poem? IDK... I am just so excited! ! ! Oh. I've read this before- -but why didn't I comment? Oh, I see. It has a new way of writing three- maybe to get us readers up to scratch........I'll be back after I contemplate three and 3....
