Martin Luther....(In The English Language) Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
Martin Luther....(In The English Language)
he was born in Eisleben
a quiet and remote
picturesque village
rich parents
farmer's family
born on November 10th
in the year 1483,
unfortunately, a tragic death on February 18th
in the year 1546,
an ominous event,
a darkest event
man's will
is in God's hands
Martin Luther is the name,
a modest man
with so much fame
acquired by God's grace
a great mysterious miracle
crossed his path
then so much fame
upon his name
chosen by God
in God's time
almost a tremendous biggest shame
not for Martin,
on the contrary,
but for the pope
and his manipulative games
that's how it went
with November birth-events,
perpetually bliss and blessings
God had a great plan with him
Martin Luther
a gifted professor in theology
a talented composer
a devotional priest,
a simple serving monk,
the key figure in the Reformation
from that day on: Divine celebrations in the church
by the grace of God
Martin Luther, servant of God
the honest and right man on the spot
had won the most favourite game
of the pope
the name of the game?
that is: extortion of money and gold
of the poorest in society
this was the biggest huge shame
never gracefully,
likewise animals
horrendous
anything and all things with the Pope, shameful
at times echoing all over the world
with all that money that the pope had appropriated
people's sins would just be gone
and got the best places in the kingdom of heaven
without their self-effort
that barter trade
so painful for these poor citizens
involved was a huge amount of money!
Martin Luther wanted Reform and
fundamentally dogmatic he thought differently
Hurray for the Reformation Day
Hurray for Martin Luther at the Reichstag in Worms
solitary in the resistance
with all his strength and dedication
he knows that God is with him,
from that time on only blessings
and celebrations
in heaven, on earth and in the church
together Martin Luther is strong!
Martin had translated the Bible
can be read now
by all people in the world
he worked with all his mental strength for God,
everything was prepared
it would be ready
not in his time, but in God's Time
the fate of mankind is in God's Hands
the Only God of Abraham, Jacob and Isaac
it is extremely important
that you, we and i know,
Amen....

Commemorating Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses

Martin Luther is a famous modest man, a gifted professor in theology, a talented composer, a devotional priest, a simple serving monk, and the key figure in the Reformation has translated the Holy Bible which can be read now by all people in the world. This poem is a great tribute to him having nice depiction. Thanks for sharing.
OOPs! Bri's typo: [i souldn't use biggest huge, but sometimes i hear myself using redundancy in expressing a very large or small amount of something.] it should read I wouldn't... :) bri
(cont.) in Googling him today i am surprised that, though he was excommunicated by the Pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Holy Roman Emperor., his death many years later is described as peaceful by his bedside confessor. could the mention of gold have to do with RC church indulgences, which ML opposed? [i souldn't use biggest huge, but sometimes i hear myself using redundancy in expressing a very large or small amount of something.] bri ;)
(cont.) i was 'raised in' a Lutheran church (Missouri Synod, in U.S.) , but recall learning little of ML's life/death. man's will is in God's hands...OR COULD IT BE: God's will is in Man's hands? ? (cont.)
In the weeks leading up to his death, Luther seems to have had a premonition that he would pass away soon. Many of his statements from that time emphasize that death is the great equalizer. In this, Luther’s attitude mirrors that of his contemporaries in the wake of the Black Death (1347 and after) . This notion of death as the great equalizer had also found popular expression in the late medieval poem “The Dance of Death, ”... (cont.)
