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
