Kingdom Come for This Or That, Vol 28 Poetry Contest 10/20/2024
sponsored by Edward Ibeh
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
