Christ the King

Christ the King

Is it hope or doubt when I plead aloud

About faith in Christ, Queen Mary Mother,

The Angels, the Saints? “Let it all be so!”

Is it a sin to repeat? “Please be true!”

Please be true in a world choked with deceit.

Is it prayer or despair to check for proofs,

Reread the Sacred, and question the Texts?

Can I shake my head at scandal and sin

But still be faithful to the Voice within?

Divinely inspired, when you’re mocked by men,

Even Christian siblings, supposed kin,

“Grace!” cry “God’s grace!” for Freedom set me free:

Bound first, wrists nailed, with a body hanging,

First-Born-Flesh, resurrected Divinity.
