A Sam Scott poem:
17th April 2025
Maundy Thursday
-----

Listen to poem:

This is the day
We break the bread
Cup full of wine
To numb the head

This is the day
When truth reveals
The veil of lies
A mind conceals

This is the day
We knew would be
That thorny cap
Of destiny

Awaits the king
Of hearts and minds
Releasing all the
Chain that binds

This is the day
A final feast
Then walk to face
The mighty beast

A farewell toast 
A hug goodbye
Of knowing me
You will deny

We pivot now
Towards the end
Death's lonely path
My feet to wend

A different way
Would be so nice
Now suffering
To sacrifice 

This is the day
We eat our last
So I can save you
From your past 

So, go I must
My words they stay
New life awaits
This is the day

Yes, 1992 years ago the ultimate sacrifice was made in behalf of mankind. Sadly, so few truly understand and appreciate the significance. If they did, this would be a much different world. Nice rhymes Sam
