simon, the pharisee

poor simon
the pharisee

sitting in judgment

"if he were a prophet
he would know what kind of woman
this is

how can he let her
touch him

let alone, wet his feet
with her tears

such an embarrassment!"

"Simon," He said
" I have something to say to you"

poor
self righteous simon

caught
in the tangle
of his own

sticky web

 ~Written after studying Luke 7:38-50

I certainly can't be too hard on Simon, however, as I too, can find myself sitting in his seat. Sad, isn't it? How we can manage to even become "Pharisee judging" Pharisees.

Pharisee:
noun

a member of an ancient Jewish sect, distinguished by strict observance of the traditional and written law, and commonly held to have pretensions to superior sanctity.
a self righteous person, a hypocrite
