“Reality And Sham” (2Cor:4:7) [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write #5:7 ]

Thus, order, courage, strength beneath
The sham, until force is released,
Is how Sun Tsu says best do war;
But as Christ’s body – even more!

For this applies as we go forth
In Christ, up here in frozen North;
We train in squads of five or ten,
Fake slackness, then “Snap to” again.

In faking fear, think actor’s way –
Put self in mental space which says
To mind (it can’t tell real from fake),
“Do fearful for this camera take”.

A force that’s unified, has strength;
If one sees fracture, then, at length
One’s thinks, “Those guys are really weak”
(A big mistake – just what we seek!)

And so, we can slip in and do
Some act of loving kindness – viewed
From satan’s point of view, as not,
’Till victory once more, Christ’s got.

For Jubilee to those still trapped
In life, is like a gift all wrapped
Up in fake actions – touch of God,
Through body members – treasured-sod.

Thanks Lord for this.
