Welcome to My Poetry Site - THE PRICE HE PAID ( PART 5 )

5) MANY WHERE BLINDED BY THE DARKNESS.

Many who were blinded by the darkness of the age -

Could not disguise their hatred - bitterness and rage ..

So- behind the pious trappings - of their unrighteous wrath ..

They plotted ways and means to put the SON of GOD to death .

Even one - among HIS own - with neither guilt nor shame

Sold his LORD and MASTER for a paltry silver gain ..

Thirty pieces - we are told - was the price that he was given ..

Not even gold was offered - for the Greatest Gift of heaven .

So it was - they took HIM - as a criminal and bound

Led before a baying mob - where no mercy could be found ..

Yet all the time - this wondrous MAN - stood silently and still ..

Knowing - every blow that fell - was HIS FATHER's will .

'Crucify HIM ' was the cry - their vicious voices yelled

As spitting - beatings - lashings - on HIS broken body hurled ..

But - even in HIS hours of pain - HIS love was never dim ..

As HE poured out HIS forgiveness - on those crucifying HIM.
