+--------The Beatitudes Of John Wall

John, Maryland, DC, Virginia
full of Galileans: a threadbare-
robed, frayed-sandal, congregation
of losing-season-enslaved Wizards
fans pining for a championship,
stooped on anxiety hillsides;
soul ears perked for words
consoling. For salvation
prophesied from the
Cleveland Cavs– cruel, tyrannical
empire of Rome. (Lebron James,
Tiberius Caesar). And your PPG
is joy to the poor in spirit. To those who
mourn, the meek, the righteous-hungry,
your assists conjure giddiness.
The merciful love your dunks, the
pure of heart, peacemakers, persecuted
your passion.When you get your ring
…like the promise to “Israel” grateful:
“BLESSED ARE YOU...[all]”

------Matthew 5:1-12
Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes
He said:

 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
 Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
 Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
 Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
 Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
