He will be born tomorrow
And will live yesterday
But today will be forever
And tomorrow shall die
So he lived ephemerally
Drawing masses in his rally
He visited yesterday
And blinded the spirits to pray
And preached eternally to redeem
Lost souls to reach self-esteem
The kings prowl within
As the sage talked of him
But he was silent
Helpless he seemed
They hurried him elsewhere
Many slain by the laughing blades
Spurting blood of feeble bones
Dire sights of wailing mothers
Slashing their hearts
And the forever living was running
An escape to return
Fully armed to be celebrated
Like we do today
Is he born forever?
To live yesterday today
Or born yesterday
To be lived today
Time was in Zion
Joyous and unending
Patching the lost memory
Of a king in a royal diadem
He will be born tomorrow
And will live yesterday
But today will be forever
And tomorrow shall die
So he lived ephemerally
Drawing masses in his rally
It is unfathomable
Because there is no time in Zion
But life unending

I read 'No Time in Zion' at facebook. The joy I had should have been enough for my reading appetite. But owed to its bright-coloured creativity I couldn't resist reading it here afresh.

He came, he saw and he conquered.I guess the angels have already fashioned this piece into music.Heaven is proud of this honour.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, congrats Nana.
..mission impossible in the eyes of the short sighted..but He that crafted and set this story in place was the master craftsman HIMSELF...
ReplyDelete"It is unfathomable

Yes, life unending, the gift His birth bestows on us, here and the hereafter...
