The Fourth Wise Man by ~Hermaphroditus:iconHermaphroditus:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


You heard it wrong:

Four wise men followed the star,
carrying frankincense, gold, and myrrh,
and a beginner's guide to establishing peace on earth.

The fourth wise man thought,

optimistically, "Fuck it,"

and fell in the sea of Gallilee,
where it was warm, and where it was pleasant,
where it was wet and weird fishes nibbled his toes,
and where he could not swim carrying
a beginner's guide to establishing peace on earth.

So they both sank.

Author's Comments

One of the spontaneous poems mentioned in my last journal. It's unedited and was written in a ridiculously little amount of time, and consequently isn't much worth reading - however, I rather liked it and even if it isn't deserving I'm posting it here. So there.

So... That's why Jesus didn't establish peace on earth... No guide book!

I loved it!

I found it the other day while scuba diving.

Step 1: eliminate humanity.

Step 2: enjoy.

Firstly, I :+fav:ed and ran yesterday - my sincerest and humblest apologies. Secondly, I love this poem, especially the last line. There's something so quirky about it. Now I know the reason to why the world is such an awful place.

Thank you for sharing.
=D

Nothing to worry about - I'm not one of those who demands comments, and the favourite was very much appreciated indeed. :) I'm not actually sure where the idea for this one came from; I guess that's where the "spontaneous" bit comes in.

Oh Jesus I'm stupid after having slept only an hour. xD Ignore me.

Thank you.

wow... that's gotta be the shortest book in the world... I bet it had a huge, glittery cover, and it looked like it had a lot of pages of steps, but only one page of words, then a lot of pictures... bright, shiny pictures... of puppies and kitties and other cute animals.


(The second shortest book is the guide book to being a guy.

Step 1: Scratch crotch for inappropriate amounts of time
Step 2: Drink excessively and then insult people
Step 3: Try to get in to other people's pants and achieve 25% success rate
Step 4: Give Men a bad name in every way possible.)
