New Creation

 
Mark Stokes

Sweat drops
On my blistered skin
A baptism of sorts
Caked dirt swims
New life begins
The old one just distorts
As I pull up my carpet cross
And follow Him uphill
I dwell upon
My social loss
That Pharisees now seal
Ignoring hatred
And doing things
I know that I should do
The poor in spirit
Will soon be kings
But now they’re the maintenance crew.

Innocence
