CHRIST THE KING

CHRIST THE KING



THE ROOTS OF THE WORD KING
ARE TRIBAL LEADER
SOMEONE THE GROUP WOULD TRUST
SOMEONE THE GROUP COULD TRUST
OVERTIME THE WORD GATHERED MANY CONNOTATIONS
UNPLEASANT CONNOTATIONS

THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING
WAS ESTABLISHED
 TO DECLARE GOD’S OWNERSHIP OF CREATION
TO A WORLD
WHICH WAS DENYING HIM THAT ROLE

CHRISTIANITY WAS SPLIT
INTO MANY GROUPS
ARGUING HOW MANY ANGELS ON A PINHEAD
WITH NO THOUGHT BEING GIVEN
TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MAN

INSTEAD OF BREAD
THEY SAID ROSARIES
INSTEAD OF MERCY
THEY QUOTED LAW
THINKING
QUESTIONING
LED TO ANATHEMA

IN CHRIST’S UPSIDE DOWN WORLD
KINGS BECAME SERVANTS
SHOWERING HIS SUBJECTS WITH GIFTS
SELLING HIS CROWN IF NEED BE
TO PAY FOR THEM

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE KING
IN THE ROYAL PALACE
HE’S THE ONE WEARING AN APRON
WASHING FEET
