The Protester

Haiku string

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Intelligent monk

And highly educated,

Always achieving.

—-

Inspired by others,

He became the Protester

And so changed the world.

—-

No money, no works

could save one from hell, he knew.

Only love and faith.

—-

A revolution

of Faith over worldliness

He carried the torch.

—-

Undaunted by threats

and excommunicated,

He didn’t give up.

Thank you, Martin Luther
