“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”—Matthew 28: 19, NIV.

Whenceupon the Lord saith to all poets

And poetesses:

“Go ye, therefore, to the Literary World

Walk forth to nations with the Word

Tell them about my Son

Paint them the glory of the sun

Craft limericks, haiku and prose

Compose, call forth wit in solitary throes

Write to them, that I be exalted

“Your mental crusts I begot

With a little more finesse you got

To write an elegy to a dead stone

Or a King, senile, a pauper dethroned

Or so sad a picture an artist could envy

“Go yea, therefore, my children

To nations of the earth, with your quills and inks

Go tell them that my son in vain didn’t die.”
