WHIMSY
I’VE HAD A WHIMSY
ATTACK
TO WHICH I’M PRONE
IT GOES LIKE THIS
ALL THE FUSS AT
EASTER
DOES IT SOMEHOW
STRIKE JESUS
AS INSINCERE
HE’D BEEN SATURDAYS
HERO
ON PALM SUNDAY
A CRIMINAL
WORTHY OF DEATH ON
FRIDAY
NOW THE SAME CROWD
WAS SINGING HOSANNAS
MAYBE HE WAS TRYING
TO SKIP OUT OF THE GARDEN
BEFORE MARY CAUGHT
HIM
LOOKING DOWN FROM THE
PINNACLE OF THE CROSS
HE COULD SEE THE
FUTURE
HE COULD SEE THE
REASON FOR HIS DYING
WHICH PROMPTED
AN ANGUISH WHY
ON EASTER MORNING
HE WONDERED
WHEN WILL THEY COME
FOR ME AGAIN
I AM NOT A HALLMARK
CARD
TO BE SENT AT EASTER
THEN FORGOTTEN
LIKE BIBLES THAT
GATHER DUST
MAY YOUR EASTER
OUTLAST
THE ECHOES
OF THE ALLELUIAS
MAY YOUR CONDUCT
RESEMBLE THAT
OF ONE WHO HAS BEEN
SAVED
AS FOR JESUS
I THINK HE WANTED
TO SEE HIS MOTHER
LET HER FUSS OVER HIM
THEN HANG OUT WITH
HIS BOYS
