Reta Pruitt Poet Rhyme

The Greatest Mathmatician and His Devine Recipe

A great and Devine recipe
Alas He brew one day
The Gospel worked great wonders
Precious blood did make a way.

Hebrew vessels, chosen jewels
Their descendants were the prick
That Paul before conversion
Against the same did kick.

Many calculated numbers
Of ingredients he mixed
Negatives and positives
A spiritual arithmetic.

Unknown integers he added
On his name destined to call
Filling up the empty places
Of the ones that didn't fall.

Factors traveling a time line
Squared and powered, proposed to
Change the world of doomed and dying
To a beloved city, new.

When just a cup full of injustice
And a pinch of bigotry.
Jealousy running rampant
Spreading pain and cruelty,

Scoops of undetermined rages
Shredded truths and kneaded lies;
Seasoned slabs of accusations
Pots of reeking compromise,

Strained to slip into the mixture
To turn bitter all the sweet
So death might come to weary pilgrims
Needing rest and food to eat.

"Come drink my blood and eat my body
In communing, you shall find
The kingdom gates are always open
To weary travelers all the time".

Says Emmanuel , standing patient
Interceding at the door, 
Whose blood is more than sufficient
For those who stray forever more.
