‘Christ’ and his ‘Mas’ (2)
As outlaws and stiff-necked we travelled, leaving behind a trail of misdeeds
Head and mind clouded and bereft of knowledge; the greatest noise we made
Misconduct enjoyed a good presence, creating casualties everywhere
Wickedness and mischief brazen and bold, wrapped with ribbons were spread
Obstinacy and pride struggled for dominance; hardened hearts dug into trenches
And traffic was heightened down the wrong road.
Â
Blindfolded by self we trudged along
Hauling with affliction our luggage of unrighteousness
Wobbled as we went with tired legs weakened without end
Leaning forward, saddled with burden felt but unseen
Mouth agape, everything was said yet no one heard us
Shoulders dropped with pain; and arms went up in surrender.
Â
Wallowing in heat; a collective cry echoed for intervention
The Almighty angered by an unruly people, pondered in his mercy seat
Shifting ground to behold his creation with compassion; opting to ‘give’
He relinquished all he had; gave the ‘only one’ for the sake of humanity
Settled the ransom to enthrone eternity; a life that run through time
A peaceful continuity after earth’s turbulent sojourn.
Â
Christ was born to pay the price; burden of an unrighteous humanity to bear
Flawless and without transgression, yet made blameworthy
Stood in the gap; despised, docked and persecuted for our sin
The wreath of thorns; the reddened marks from whips
Nails pierced through the tissue of love; the yoke of the cross
Wounded, bruised and chastised; atonement for our wrong.
Â
Victory over sin and death; with his stripes came healing
Reconciled back to our maker; fresh and new again
Guilt as scarlet washed away; like snow the white is felt
The iron grip of iniquity broken; freedom return home
Hope was reborn; eternity is within eyesight
Salvation bought with a price we celebrate.

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
