The Kings’ Fragile Earnings

Preface: This poem was written on Christmas Day to highlight that the kings were expected to surrender their fragile earnings to earn everlasting peace, love, kindness—a healthy kingdom. Every human being has fragile earnings that restrict the eternal life, and the poem invites them to surrender these, once and for all.

The poem's key themes are:

  • The Guiding Light: The "stunning light" of Christmas is a powerful symbol that has a dual purpose: to be followed physically and to "kill the darkness inside" the observer, acting as a catalyst for internal change.

  • The Nature of True Gifts: The biblical Magi brought traditional material wealth (gold, frankincense, and myrrh), but the poem asserts that the divine child "required none of these." The real offering was a spiritual one.

  • The Act of Surrender: The central action is the surrender of internal vices: pride, hypocrisy, and pretense. These are the "fragile earnings" that the kings symbolically "cast into the flame."

  • Transformation and the New Path: The act of surrendering one's darkness makes the kings "no longer fit" to return to "Herod" (a metaphor for returning to their old, corrupt ways). Their change in physical path symbolizes a profound spiritual shift toward "peace, hope, and love."

  • A Modern Call to Action: The poem concludes by addressing all readers as "kings of modern time," urging them to follow the same light and surrender their own contemporary forms of ego and artifice to achieve an authentic, lasting peace.

    • Closing Resolution: "As fellow kings of fragile earnings, let us resolve this day to let the stunning light overrule our inner darkness. Amen."

    On this Christmas Day,
    I fix my eyes on
    the stunning light,
    Inviting me to follow its move,
    Shining bright to kill the darkness inside.

    The kings followed
    the same in the past,
    Carrying gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
    But the One they visited
    required none of these,
    So they cast their pride, hypocrisy, and pretense
    into the flame;
    Their gold, frankincense, and myrrh,
    represented their sin.

    When they surrendered
    their inner darkness,
    they were no longer fit
    to visit Herod again.
    They changed the path they came,
    and followed the way of peace, hope, and love.

    Behold! the kings of modern times,
    Wake up to follow the same shine—
    To surrender pride, hypocrisy, and pretense
    Once and for all time.
