PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Of all the witnesses at that small rise

(called, in the Roman language, Calvary),

you were most tortured by terror, and sorrow;

which you knew would not subside on the morrow;

or even by the sunrise, two days hence:

with no escape from them, and no defense

against them.  You tried gamely to persuade

Him to refuse, reject, flee and evade

the prospect of this sacrificial death,

which He completed, and, in dying breath,

declared the whole, salvific pupose finished.

This would bring human tears to fleshly eyes.

And, though, still prince of this world and its air,

your hateful and damnable strategy---

to bring all of sinful humanity

(such multitudes!) that must accompany

you into Lake Fire for eternity--

has been destroyed, not just merely diminished.

Now, this is final, and you have to bear

the knowledge that delivers looming fear

to you as the final reckoning draws near.
