OUR LIVING LORD

JOURNAL #29

with a coward's eyes
they looked on
seeming little fazed
so horribly corrupt now
it feels
this feeling of broken despair
a glacier flowing
throughout the warmest chambers
of one's tender heart
a molestation of the senses
bread choking a starving man
as far too eagerly he feasts
so archaic is this acid rain forest
of misjudgment
the bleeding fills the vacuum
and the tears wash the blood work clean
to harbor any hate for the stated unfairness
seems the smallest minded option to take
for this is what God expected
he knew some men would play
each his greedy self serving role
to its most brilliant crescendo
that of the spilling of Christ's blood
Jesus embraced his fate
with the utmost perfect humility
and sacrifice
as all mankind stood back
and let him pay far too handsomely
for their staggering debt
without so little much as a humbled thank you
I thank God every day for the love he bestowed
upon us through the body of Jesus Christ
his pure gentle so beloved son
He is the hope brought to physical life
and given a voice
a world worthy source of divine distribution
by modest text and inspired word of mouth
handed down over the generations
amassing this spiritual fortune we have today
the mentioned abundance
that truly exists
the astronomical notation
throughout the ages
in our souls
he breathes on
and has purpose
for He is
'OUR LIVING LORD'
