Aleph Mem Tav

What happens when mathematics is melded with theology.

Lost in translation
From the regional dialect
To the lingua franca

Alpha and Omega
Beginning and End

But not addressing
The characters between

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta

One, Two, Three, Four

Aleph, Bet, Gimel, Dalet

Aleph and Omega
Aleph and Tav

Aleph, Mem, Tav
One, Forty, Four Hundred

Four-Hundred Forty One
Twenty-One Squared

Three multiplied by Seven
and then squared

Trinity and Completion,
the Complete Trinity

And that is the Truth,
The Whole Truth, and
Nothing But the Truth

Emet, precisely balanced
at the beginning, middle
and the end of the alphabet

Standing perfectly on
the baseline, nothing
hanging below

And that is the
truth of the matter

Standing upright,
in complete perfection

Like the sacrifice on
the ultimate addition sign

The right angle is called
right for a reason

It is the right way to go
as He is, since He is
The Way,
The Truth,
and
The Life

The Derek,
The Emet,
and
The Chayyim

The Apo,
The Aletheia,
and
The Bios

Apokalypsis
The apocalypse
The unveiling

The Son of Man
is now unveiled

Unveiled before us,
and we have no excuse

Not even those that
are mentally accelerated

Aleph was selected to measure
the size of infinity for a reason

So the excuses have
fallen upon the
deaf ears
of the
one
called
Who Is,
Who Was,
Who Is To Come

The eyes and ears and
the senses at large have
been opened widely

The translation is
lost no longer because
of Pentecost

The regional dialect
and the lingua franca
are one in the same

Reviews

[Chris Taylor]

Ah...........selah. I am amazed at how complex and also rationally simple this poem is. I, of course, totally love the point and message of this work and I felt it would also tickle the interest of those who are "searching" for truth. As, is my point to most of my writing, I felt that you and I share the love and the devotion of a God who cares for us so much. A fantastic piece. I rated this very high.

As complicated and as simplistic as alphabetized laguage basics are, this poem. Good job.

was that a crash course, I felt like I was in class, I'm gonna have to read this one again my friend, but the wordplay was absolutely ridiculous (Slang for: incredible)
