The Aftermath

After all
The arrival was
Obscure
Non-descript
Unnoticed by the important
Valued by the poor

Royalty
Righteousness
And pain
Was His goal
To fulfill
To make whole

But He was seen
As dated
Shallow
Narrow
Accused of many things
That did not stick

Arms length perspective
Upends the ruse
Reveals shallowness
Betrays false confidence in man
Simple truth prevailed
God’s timeless wisdom won

Hollow the wisdom of the world
To be abandoned
The Cornerstone is settled
Of great worth
Jesus is forever
True wisdom, strength and depth
