+-----------The (Our) World On Fire; The Thoughts Of The Disciples In The Upper Room During Pentecost 

And this is the world as
we know it on a spiritual tilt,
our hearts something like Cronos
mutilating Uranus' hedonism descending
to earth sickled, but with a metamorphic
(soul) Fire not like myths.  And this
conflagration ethereal doesn’t belie true
charred activist intentions – to smolder
with hatred for the Old Order:
social injustice, neglect of the poor, widows
and gaunt orphans wasting away….unloved
….their skin clenching rib bone- the
ash, soot, cinder of emotions burning
on all our tongues alit in an upper
room formerly fearful. Because we now
know for true revolution, true change
– all nations, all races need to have
Jesus in common. (Parthians, Medes,
Elamites, Egyptians, Libyans, Romans…)
 
----------------Acts 2:1-13
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.  They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome  (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”
