GUYS! We made it!! Not quite on time, perhaps, but today is the twenty-fourth day of poetry. I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have 🙂
For my last poem I’m trying my hand at spoken word poetry….perhaps my brothers and I will do it together sometime and I’ll post a vid 😀
Enjoy!
A child.
A child? How?
This cannot be, I am young
Still you may bear a son
I can’t tell-
Can’t?
What would he say?
A child?
What would they say?
Mustn’t.
I will pay.
I must pay.
The saviour?
Saviour.
A child?
A child.
Bear this gladly
I will do
Try to resist-
Must resist
The stares because
A child?
A child.
She
She betrayed me
How, why-
A child?
A child.
Stone her-
Stone her?
Don’t stone her
The angel says
This is real
A child.
Saviour.
I don’t understand
A child? Her?
Well….
We must
We must travel?
With a child?
Taxes.
Taxes?
Bethlehem.
No room.
No room?
But please, my wife-
A child.
A child?
A child.
No room here-
The child!
A stable.
A stable?
It will do
Sheep, dark.
So dark,
always dark
never changing
wait-
there, over there
the light?
Why light?
Isn’t it supposed to
Be night?
They sing.
They?
Sing?
What do they say?
A child.
A child?
A child.
Where?
In a stable
A stable?
Messiah-
MESSIAH?
IN A STABLE?
Yes, messiah.
We must-
We must go
See this child,
Wrapped in clothes
In a manger
A manger?
A manger.
A star-
in the east?
In the east.
A child?
A child.
A king.
A king?
A king.
A child king.
We must go
Go see
Go see this king,
This child.
Wake up!
Up?
It’s dark.
We must leave
Leave?
Now?
Yes. Now.
They are coming.
Coming?
For the child.
The child?
The child.
The chosen
The son
The messiah is here
In the form of
This Child.
