Acceptance


Contributed by Robert Lyons

The falling beam breaking atmosphere

A stars deflection, crashing near

The beast is here, come hither

A temple for hire, coffee sir?

Blurring the lines, liars are blind

So we hoof along aloof to wrong

All week long we succumb

Dumb to the reason

Seasons go by,  tithe, tithe

Get together, community strong!

Bonded by proof that they belong

Dancing and braying to the songs

The earth will quake assuredly

Here comes the storm

Man and beast make measure

Soon before a shining thrown’

A line will form with dead at horn

And many hearts will be torn

As the son of man frowns upon

Your life’s hypocrisies, you will ask

“Did the King ever know me?”
