Notes About The Poem

Kingdom Come for  This Or That, Vol 28 Poetry Contest 10/20/2024

sponsored by Edward Ibeh

 

Kingdom Come

There in the beauty of eclipsing eyes
Heavy with joy’s tears of sacrifice 
Misery’s mahogany merrily replaced 
By vindication violets blooming
Despite obvious peach pain

For each hand a silver nail
Each repent loosens
Each sin justifies jail and hammer
Stammering shame of humanity
All for vanity and “justice”

But joy comes in the morning 
They strung him high
Whipped his hyde
Pierced his side
While the Father on high looked below

Skies once dark turned bright
Heavens opened up
Forgiven despite sins of the living
It was destined a blessing
From a cursed soul 

Bold enough to trade
Silver gold for chosen one
Fulfilling the prophecy 
Thorn crown parted hair
Of the Prince of Peace
Kingdom Come 
Destined to lead
