So, anyone who knows me knows that I love Star Wars...really love is perhaps not strong enough a word, my interest borders upon obsession and has, at times, reached unhealthy heights. This is not one of them.
In the Star Wars universe there are two predominant religious groups, the Jedi (whom anyone who has seen the movies knows well), and the Sith (who are somewhat more of a mystery). Each of these religious groups has their own code, a short bit of verse written to espouse the orders particular philosophy towards life (no I'm not going to quote them for you).
I mention all of this so that I may explain the following poem, this poem was inspired by the codes of the Jedi and Sith (neither of which is particularly Christian, the Jedi being distinctly Buddhist in flavor while the Sith are distinctly humanist). The following is the Way of Christ, my attempt to espouse what it means to follow Christ in a equally short and poignant bit of verse.
My strength is a lie, I have only weakness
In my weakness I am broken
To brokenness is added pain
By pain I am made to grow
Through growth I am brought to maturity
In maturity I see his strength
It is the Lord that makes me strong
