Jesus (Free verse) by Dovina

(Reflections After Reading The New Testament) At the moment of death He had no doubt, “It is finished” Poem complete. His supporters, Poem in hand, Twisted words, Jumbled letters, Canonized, dogmatized. Until those letters spell evil As clearly as good, While He remains The righteous King.

There’s something in this poem for everyone. If I’ve left someone out, it was not from sluggardry, but ignorance. Christians are offended for obvious reasons; atheists for suggestion of a King; story lovers because it tells, never shows; poets because it omits the cherished poetic devices; humanists for stoicism; logicians for unsubstantiated claims, drunkards for seriousness; teetotalers for simplicity. Have I left anyone out? Oh, yes, me because it’s the way I see it. Appologies.
