Best Sacrificial Lamb Poems

White daisy's in a wicker basket
graced the tiny metal casket
where his lifeless body now lay..
Family and friends wrought with grief
shook their heads in disbelief
as he was only ten years to the day...
His story made the news
with it's all familiar tragic hues
and the politicians had their...

Streaks of pallid moonlight  
wash over blood-stained  
burnt umber leaf blight.  
Glistening stainless steel remains  
within wilting noir roses  
and blistered blades of grass.  
Sickening hands shake my repose,  
heart racing, sure to collapse,  
feeling faint. ...

Not all news of its existence brings joy – 
a heartbeat is denied the trumpets
instead, news is shared in long drawn 
out breaths with eyes that never dry. 

A vow was broken long before – 
Those nights, when they turn off the light 
a silence...

His glorious throne He left
for this unruly world of theft
A great sacrifice He offered
for the world He suffered
Into this world He was born
The sewage of sin He had to burn
Gifts they brought
His life Herod sought
The erudites swore
Crown of thorns He wore
Oh!
He died then, though alive
Halleluiah!
He's...

The little lord Jesus
asleep not on the hay 
but in the street 

Like Abraham the little
boy was sacrificed on 
the machine's high holy day
One day after the Winter Solstice

His family lived in a comfortable
home in Brooklyn NY but his father
took the subway to the highest
mountain...

The Sacrificial Lamb
On the cross
Shedding His Blood
So our souls would not be lost

What greater love could there ever be
Who could love us as much as He
Giving His life for an entire nation
One selfless act to save all of creation 

Reserving us a space
In our heavenly...

When Christ was resurrected from the tomb,
sunrise broke the gloomy darkness 
and the heavy stone rolled away to let Him 
flee from the tomb of many sorrows;
His father waited for Him to declare Him
King of Heaven, that place so ethereal, 
watching the angels bow to...

flocks of sheep paused their grazing,
looked up to speak to me,
the bright moon kept watch,
like a big farm dog,
looking over a tall birch tree!
I condoned with their bleating, 
of their inhuman suffering,
heard their soul’s appeal!
the green meadow fed them,
from fresh goodness of its being,
knowing too...

GARDEN'S SACRIFICIAL LAMB JESUS

Let me pass
I'd go neither north or south
There's no need to react
I'm presenting myself
a living sacrifice
And my life no longer under law
God has given me a new one
No longer shall I sacrifice
A bullock rams or lamb
Jesus came died and became 
are ...
