Easter

The  sun  glazes  slithery  from  the  East, 
And  the  acidic  stomachs  rumble  for  a  feast, 
The  young  eagerly  wait  for  the  bunny’s  Easter  presents, 
As  great  ancient  stories  and  sermons  are  baked  by  priests, 
The  elderly organize for  a  clandestine  meeting, 
Ostensibly  to  drink  together  from  one pot  while  drooling, 
This  day will always  be  written in people’s  hearts, 
Not  as  a  day of feast,  
but  as  a  day  of  good  news, 
That  shook  the  whole  of  the  already  dying  earth, 
He  was  not  there,  he  rose,  life  conquered  death, 



HAPPY EASTER.

Well done, Samuel: Easter should remind us that every day is a God sending and we should not take anything for granted.
