The Brokenness of Christ

THE BROKENNESS OF CHRIST evil salivates at the brokenness of Christ unzipping of flesh a lowly mock crown the nettles dig in and sting blood like tears forgive holes punched into palms surreal Roman nails impale perpetuity worn down and lifeless his body lowered to ground the finality a serpentine laugh the hiss of betrayal’s kiss a stone seals the deal angels gathering lighting up the darkest night in awe of the King a massive stone throw the dawning of a new age rekindling heartstrings O how the dawn sings colors of exultation expressions of love 9/10/2018 Not us but Him! It’s what Jesus did.

I'm not much for religious poetry, Kim, but this poem is outstanding in its use of satanic references contrasted with Christ. This poem deserves a prize and appreciative recognition. Bravo. / M

He gave his life so that we could be saved, how ungrateful many are. Well written Kim. Tom
