Standing in the sea of sinful man
Is Barrabbas, and Hitler, and Pol Pot
infamous men, who wrought infamy
on humanity
but will John Doe be there too?
pushing Stalin’s naked arms aside
still his face purple with the aneurysm
that took his life
when saints in England prayed
for his demise
and what of Pontius Pilate
his record stained for all time
and Caiphas high priest
de-frocked by God
stands there too
an insignificant worm
lower than low
bodies crashing into
bodies, like maggots
rotting maggots
unglorified and unlovely
the wretched face
sin unmasks itself
death behind it
centuries and centuries
rows and rows an endless
mass of heads,
faceless faces
nameless names
no smiles
no love
no hope
crushed skulls
grief in all its
magnitude
on that day
they all stand
guilty
blood on their hands
some murdered as many
as six million
while others not even
one
still they all stand before
an angry God
stained stained
completely stained
and defiled
for trampling the Messiah
underfoot
for scoffing at His death
for unbelief
blindness
and a love of their
own vomit
Hilter, Pol Pot,
Stalin, and could
it be the man who
was faithful 50 years
to the same woman
sat in church
worked like a slave
til he died
but never once shed
a tear of repentance
and so they all go
hand in hand
one body after
another into that
Great Lake of Fire
for not loving Jesus
