Highest Inheritance
The losers who are punished by their loss
And pain are purer than the victors who
Get glory. Christ upon his aching cross
Is like his cousin John. Their lives, askew
Across imperial realities,
Are massacred. The Pharisees’ and scribes’,
The princess’ and the king’s brutalities
Including pushed out lips and vicious jibes
Reveal their inner selves for what they are.
It is as if intestines filled with crime
And filth replace their skin. Each is a jar
Shaped like a Gorgon filled with slime.
..The failures are eternity’s facade.
….The failures are the champions of God.
