Revelation
Those first, the last, in-between,
which ones be me favorite Book?
Oh! Myriad verses God’s sacred
Word, each deserves a holy look
Notice society-modern culture-hip
concerted effort hateful-attack
Religion lives as sure as God’s
goodness sets pernicious agenda back
Wish I may, wish I might know
unit Trinity just “In the Beginning…”
Born Spirit pure, quick taught to
lie, Sprout demon Christian sinning
Delightful journey through eon
ages crescendo birth yon Christmas Eve
Awesome God respected humble man
with perfect life, followers believe
Taught parables, exemplar lived
in charity-generous, no conjured fable
Suffered thirteen stations to
Redempted Salvation via Communion table
Glorified body reborn at vacant
tomb-of-death on Resurrection Day
Defeated dark-one’s evil
threatened stain each Blessed hour, I pray!
Footprints!? Adam tempted, Moses
parted, Noah boated, the Baptist wild
Jesus alone! Where stand I?
Pardon Lazarus! He was dead! Christ smiled
Myriad valued lessons purely
offered, with luck a few I may have learned
Espoused mindful good intentions,
failed; virtue-good for which I yearned
I’ll stand to shout His whispered
Truth even if “Idiot!” they coin me
Promises His Word He’ll be there
if one or two simply will join me
Fiat clear the Lord instilled
within man’s wicked nature, major directives two
Simple stated, difficult
practiced: Honor Truth! Do Good! All Christians knew
Point out not the obvious sins of
chosen enemies vile detested
View obfuscated image in mirror
reflecting evil intent inflected
Hide not cringed beyond barred
church door for a gathered “tell ’n show”
Step up! Volunteer! Whisper
subtle humble prayer to God, “Yes! I will go!”
Should Scripture go unfulfilled,
a witness false, God’s Own evil sin
Genesis beginning to Revelation
tale: In the end, the good guys win
Amen!
