The Martyr (Acts 7:54-60)
The martyr is stoned by those who shut out his voice. Hands over their ears they rush him full of hatred, despite the sincerity of his blood. Murder them as you have in the past, the prophets who exposed your falsehoods. This is not a sacrifice to be offered to God. There is no justice for the creed you preach. You raise your fist, hard stone wrapped within and throw your cloak, like responsibility, in the arms of another. copyright 2016 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
