Softly

Softly

Soft and subtle
Until it isn’t
Then it rears its 
Ugly head
To bite you
Swallow you 
Whole
Wishing to make you
Only dead

satan’s darkness 
Works like that
Starting with only angry 
Complaints
Working undercover
Until it completely removes
All restraints 
To fully destroy you

So they did with Christ
At first,
Only anger’s hatred
Until the evil within man
Fully exploded
Trying to destroy
Someone most sacred
God Himself!

At His last supper
On this green planet
He urged his true followers
Of many things
To love each other,
Honor His blood and body
With powerful words
With Holy truths
His words did ring

Until at last
Men with clubs
Came to gather Him
To his accusers
In only heartbeats
They would soon be His
Physical abusers
Of all these occurrences
Christ was already knowledgeable
Knowing His Father’s will was
Eternally indomitable
Walked into their death trap
And did it always and only
To save all of us, me
And of course,
You!!
