Knees: a 7 Tier Haiku
Death torturing knee…
Law and order prevailing;
Oppression speaking…
One knee on my neck,
The other kicking my butt;
How long will this last?
We both have our knees…
You bend yours praising Satan;
Mine bend to praise God…
I bend on one knee,
But I stand on hope and faith;
Divine wisdom guides
Your knees confuse me;
Just who are you supporting?
I still cannot breathe…
You kneel to praise death;
I kneel to resurrection:
My spirit rising…
You may knee me once;
Better watch out the next time:
I’ve chosen to live!
