The Cross that Cometh

“Therefore speak I to them in parables: 
because they seeing, see not: 
and hearing they hear not; 
neither do they understand.” Matt 13:13 
That time is here,
     for Jew and Gentile
     the sea is churned
                   upon the sand
     washing up the vision
                   thirteen in number
                   of the promised land.
                   

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake; 
but he that shall endure unto the end, 
the same shall be saved” Mark 13:13 	
     From my TV
     comes fear
     and  blasphemy
     which I am supposed to drink
     to wash down
     the chaos
     and filth
                    with ideology.


Christendom:
     staggering
          stumbling and drunken,
     on quick fix raptures
     She is abused
          and beaten
     no match for Marx
          fumbling for courage
     stricken with infirmity
          and self hatred. 
“And he laid his hands on her:  
and immediately she was made straight, 
and glorified God.” Luke 13:13



The time is now
     and we are here, 
“Ye call me Master and Lord: 
and ye say well;  
for so I am.” John 13:13
     But there are those
             who,
      will never accept it. 
      
They know only what their
     blind eyes see,
     amazed by serpents
     believing circus prophets
     staring at the sky
     saying, “look-see, look-see,” 
“And he doeth great wonders,
so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth 
in the sight of men.” Rev 13:13
     Believing that the serpent is a savior
             and when the last seal is broken,
                     that they will be saved. 
 

The Cross that cometh
     thirteen its number
     through the mist that riseth
            awakening the sleeper
     in the Garden,
            the bright and morning star
                         now glowing
     and the sword of Michael
            blue and dazzling
                       in his hand 
He sleeps no more.
