Mercy! Mercy! That Dang Nabed PERCY!

Easter Poem

Easter

I have been to the gates of hell
On Admission’s Day.
I have stated the merits of my case
To the unanswered silence,
Watched death circle,
As I wept bitterly.

Finally with nothing left to offer
I said, “Take me Lord…
No more quibbles
Or empty promises
See? the bottle of bull shit
Is all poured out…

I'm your servant Lord
And if you don’t want me…
(I can understand that.)
Leave me to your service
such as my caloused heart
allows… at any given beat."

And I felt a warm glow and…
A strong hand jerk my collar
And raise me from the abyss.
“The reason I love you,
miserable excuse for a man,
Is because there isn’t one.”
