Adorned In Purple

Splinter bruised skin shimmering with blood of the whip, Crown that bled blood of calamity, A pierced side that bled anguish and pain, Adorned in purple for a whole world sake. Beaten with club, Led to the slaughter house, Clambered to Calvary hills, In bleeding garments of torment, Adorned in purple for the believers struggle. A palm that was nailed to the cross, He was not punished for his own suffering, He came to wash away a curse of old, Adorned in purple he bore the shame silent and bold. Lying tongues bestowed praises that were turned to mockery, Hail hail hail was turned to kill kill kill. Came as a King and Councilor, Died as a criminal, But kept on to the promise Adorned in purple. © Gabriel T. Saah.
