"HE" - a poem.

 

 

He bore the curse,

He wore the shame,

He bore Gods' wrath

Endured the pain.

 

He bowed to death,

He graced the tomb,

He brake the bars

Dispelled the gloom.

 

He vanquished death,

He ope'd the graves,

He rent the rocks

And freed its' slaves.

 

He "shewed Himself,"

He banished fear,

He whispered "peace"

Dried every tear.

 

He blessed His own,

He clave the sky,

He upward rose

And reigns on high.

 

He comes again,

 He takes His own,

He brings them "there"

to share His throne.

Mans' Hatred: A Simple Poem

MANS' HATRED: A Simple Poem

 MANS’ HATRED

  CROWNED WITH THORNS UPON THE TREE,

SUFF’RING SUCH DEEP AGONY;

HANDS AND FEET NAILED TO THE CROSS,

HANGING THERE IN SHAME AND LOSS.

BLEEDING, BRUISED AND SPIT UPON,

MOCKED, REVILLED, GODS’ LOVELY SON;

ALL MANS’ HATRED VENTED THERE

HIS ALONE THE LOAD TO BEAR.

BITTER GALL TO SLAKE HIS THIRST,

MANS’ INTENT TO DO HIS WORST.

IN THEIR RAGE AND ANGER FIERCE

LAST HIS SIDE WITH SPEAR THEY PIERCE.
