Kim Rodrigues Poet Lyric

On the Ropes

Roar’n of the lion, silence of the lamb
O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o*

In pit of despair, color robbed from his face,
Joseph loosed from his coat, sold as a slave.

Roar’n of the lion, silence of the lamb
O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o

Swallowed by the sea, whale amidst the waves.
Jonah no longer pouts, he’s in a dark cave.

Roar’n of the lion, silence of the lamb
O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o

Bones imminent crush in this den of fur.
Daniel smells the cacophonous blood.

Roar’n of the lion, silence of the lamb
O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o

Splinters his hands and his feet.
Jesus punished on a crucifix stage.

Roar’n of the lion, silence of the lamb
O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o…O-o-o-o

*slow meditation of the gravity of these words.
The lion and the lamb - both represent God
