Poem: Children of Peter

Children of Peter

In the weathered time fore dawn,

Darkness loomed within the forlorned.

A young girl innocent was,

Learned the secret of the thorns.

In a dark vestal bound,

Lay a secret buried found.

Two squired priests of this Earth,

Told heavenly tales not of mirth.

Till one night, thru God’s Will,

One came running down with a chill.

He whispered a secret of heavenly worth,

As the girl watched the eyes of the other grow gravely concerned.

The old man, face a relic of the now past,

Told the girl this secret in confidence unsurpassed.

Carefully he whispered to her the truth now vested to him.

He said:

For thousands of years we have preached to the earth,

Of the bounty of Christ –

And yet we also divided Jesus thru the vice of an Anti-Christ.

Two different people we were told they were,

To opposite ends of the earth.

And now we find, the secret is, both are of a virgin birth.

Why do you whisper, she asked quietly.

Is it not a good thing that they are both He?

Young girl, you do not see

With this truth, we lose our claim to brutality.
