Chapter 58 – Isaiah<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Isaiah was a man<\/span>
\nA kind of a man<\/span>
\nMore generous than his wealth<\/span>
\nUntouchable by another’s profits<\/span>
\nWith a frugality beyond any poverty<\/span>
\nHe was a gentle man<\/span>
\nWith a purposefulness typically beyond words<\/span>
\nSpeaking with a clarity too spirited for some<\/span>
\nIn jail for disturbing the peace<\/span>
\nThough he would have said<\/span>
\n“I am disturbing the war”<\/span>
\nHe was a headstrong man<\/span>
\nThough less determined than unshakable<\/span>
\nHis single-mindedness<\/span>
\nExceeded only by a purity of heart<\/span>
\nIn that instant where mourning breaks<\/span>
\nIn the face of a rising dawn<\/span>
\nAwaking<\/span>
\nFollowing that first night<\/span>
\nWith an irrepressible smile<\/span>
\nOn his face<\/span>
\nRealizing he is the freest person<\/span>
\nHe knows<\/span>
\nSimply saying<\/span>
\n“I really need to get out more”<\/span>
\nFast becoming hungry<\/span>
\nThirst things thirst<\/span>
\nIn spite of being<\/span>
\nLike naked<\/span>
\nFor I’s guarded<\/span>
\nSurrounded by men of this stripe<\/span>
\nWholly innumerable<\/span>
\nEver-present in the passed<\/span>
\nHis work was before him<\/span>
\nA long line of just us<\/span>
\nAll the same, some lost<\/span>
\nSome merely on their way<\/span>
\nTo share some food with his mates<\/span>
\nThen off to work<\/span>
\nFor there is<\/span>
\nNo such thing as<\/span>
\nFree room and board<\/span>
\nFrom some anonymous uncle<\/span>
\nAfter all the feds<\/span>
\nReckon the rest<\/span>
\nAs what will follow<\/span>
\nWhen expecting to be herd<\/span>
\nAs well as something more<\/span><\/p>\n

This poem is a tribute and extremely loose paraphrase or interpretation of Isaiah 58 in the Bible.\u00a0 This Old Testament chapter is a classic among lovers of justice.\u00a0 In this poem, the title alludes to a chapter in the biography of a man.\u00a0 This modern-day take is inspired by those faithful and devoted workers for justice who commit civil disobedience in the course of their work for social justice.\u00a0 The setting is a free man who finds himself in prison.\u00a0 Barring all irony, he is still free!<\/p>\n

The only truly obscure reference that I would elucidate springs from the lines: In spite being\/Like naked\/For I’s guarded.\u00a0 It’s more easily accessible meaning is a reference to being vulnerable, particularly when at the hands of someone who, like a prison guard, literally oversees your every movement, peering into the bowels of your very being!\u00a0 The obscurity is in that “Nakedness was taboo in Judaism, and shame fell less on the naked party than on the person viewing or causing the nakedness (Gen 9:20-27).”\u00a0 In Matthew 5:40, Jesus says, “if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well.” The theologian and author Walter Wink explains how Jesus instructed his audience, the poor, how to fight back using creative nonviolence, taking advantage of the cultural fact that viewing nakedness is more shameful than being naked:<\/p>\n

“…so the debtor parades his nakedness in prophetic protest against a system that has deliberately rendered him destitute.\u00a0 Imagine him leaving the court, naked: his friends and neighbors, aghast, inquire what happened.\u00a0 He explains.\u00a0 They join his growing procession, which now resembles a victory parade.\u00a0 The entire system by which debtors are oppressed has been publicly unmasked.\u00a0 The creditor is revealed to be not a legitimate moneylender but a party to the reduction of an entire social class to landlessness, destitution, and abasement.\u00a0 This unmasking is not simply punitive, therefore; it offers the creditor a chance to see, perhaps for the first time in his life, what his practices cause, and to repent. <\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Powers That Be literally stand on their dignity.\u00a0 Nothing depotentiates them faster than deft lampooning.\u00a0 By refusing to be awed by their power, the powerless are emboldened to seize the initiative, even where structural change is not immediately possible.\u00a0 This message, far from being a counsel to perfection unattainable in this life, is a practical, strategic measure for empowering the oppressed, and it is being lived out all over the world today by powerless people ready to take their history into their own hands. <\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jesus provides here a hint of how to take on the entire system by unmasking its essential cruelty and burlesquing its pretensions to justice.\u00a0 Here is a poor man who will no longer be treated as a sponge to be squeezed dry by the rich.\u00a0 He accepts the laws as they stand, pushes them to absurdity, and reveals them for what they have become.\u00a0 He strips naked, walks out before his fellows, and leaves this creditor, and the whole economic edifice which he represents, stark naked.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In the full article by Walter Wink, Beyond Just War and Pacifism: Jesus’ Nonviolent Way,\u00a0 Dr. Wink outlines three of methods of creative nonviolent disobedience that Jesus taught, from Mathew 5:38-41 (NIV): “You have heard that it was said, \u2018Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.\u2019 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.\u00a0 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.”\u00a0 One of the truly magnificent revelations in this article is how it illustrates the extent to which Jesus’ teachings are commonly misunderstood; or perhaps more to the point, often understood as the exact opposite of what Jesus meant!<\/p>\n

The spirit of Jesus is manifest in the scripture inspiring this poem, Isaiah 58 (NIV).\u00a0 It is no accident that Jesus quotes Isaiah to kick off his public ministry!\u00a0 The heading for this chapter is usually rendered, “True Fasting;”<\/p>\n

\u201cShout it aloud, do not hold back.
\nRaise your voice like a trumpet.
\nDeclare to my people their rebellion
\nand to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
\nFor day after day they seek me out;
\nthey seem eager to know my ways,
\nas if they were a nation that does what is right
\nand has not forsaken the commands of its God.
\nThey ask me for just decisions
\nand seem eager for God to come near them.
\n\u2018Why have we fasted,\u2019 they say,
\n\u2018and you have not seen it?
\nWhy have we humbled ourselves,
\nand you have not noticed?\u2019
\n\u201cYet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please
\nand exploit all your workers.
\nYour fasting ends in quarreling and strife,
\nand in striking each other with wicked fists.
\nYou cannot fast as you do today
\nand expect your voice to be heard on high.
\nIs this the kind of fast I have chosen,
\nonly a day for people to humble themselves?
\nIs it only for bowing one\u2019s head like a reed
\nand for lying in sackcloth and ashes?
\nIs that what you call a fast,
\na day acceptable to the Lord?
\n\u201cIs not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
\nto loose the chains of injustice
\nand untie the cords of the yoke,
\nto set the oppressed free
\nand break every yoke?
\nIs it not to share your food with the hungry
\nand to provide the poor wanderer with shelter\u2014
\nwhen you see the naked, to clothe them,
\nand not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
\nThen your light will break forth like the dawn,
\nand your healing will quickly appear;
\nthen your righteousness will go before you,
\nand the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
\nThen you will call, and the Lord will answer;
\nyou will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
\n\u201cIf you do away with the yoke of oppression,
\nwith the pointing finger and malicious talk,
\nand if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
\nand satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
\nthen your light will rise in the darkness,
\nand your night will become like the noonday.
\nThe Lord will guide you always;
\nhe will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
\nand will strengthen your frame.
\nYou will be like a well-watered garden,
\nlike a spring whose waters never fail.
\nYour people will rebuild the ancient ruins
\nand will raise up the age-old foundations;
\nyou will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
\nRestorer of Streets with Dwellings.
\n\u201cIf you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
\nand from doing as you please on my holy day,
\nif you call the Sabbath a delight
\nand the Lord\u2019s holy day honorable,
\nand if you honor it by not going your own way
\nand not doing as you please or speaking idle words,
\nthen you will find your joy in the Lord,
\nand I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land
\nand to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.\u201d
\nFor the mouth of the Lord has spoken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
