When a Eucharist of Humility is Rejected
by Lisa Samson
A dead cold body hung on a tree.
I came to feast; I will not taste.
This is not what I came to see.
I came to drink high mountain tea,
Rock water, king's wine, not this waste.
A dead cold body hung on a tree.
Eating, gorging, salvation spree.
Instead blood dries with skin to paste.
This is not what I came to see.
Power outage, bloody love debris,
Broken being, Elysian waste.
A dead cold body hung on a tree.
Silent Captive, offers no plea.
Murders, greed, abuses displaced.
This is not what I came to see.
Combatant prince, O come to me,
No weak, peaceful Brother disgraced.
A dead cold body hung on a tree.
This is not what I came to see.
