The man on the hill Empty
PostSubject: The man on the hill   The man on the hill EmptyFri Nov 25, 2011 2:22 pm

The sun was blood red and it burned all night

as he rode and he rode by the twin moonlight

Riding bareback on a skeletal steed

and he watched the world cry and he watched the world bleed

Riding through the night as he witnessed death

Men, women, children...gasping for breath

Inhaling toxic air and dripping acid rain

Screaming, and dreaming, and writhing in pain

He couldn't offer help he had to stay on course

so he pushed and he kicked on his long-dead horse

until finally he arrived at his final destination

and he stared and he glared in utter fascination

As his trusty steed fell...forever still

he was there to bear witness to the man on the hill

There was a crowd gathered 'round at the midnight hour

They'd heard the man on the hill wielded an awesome power

A power so strong and a power so great

that just the mere presence could change a man's fate

It could change the world, even change destiny

and this was the power that the rider rode to see

He squeezed through the crowd to get a closer look

just as the man on the hill started to open a book

The book was voluminous, luminous, it had a life all its own

It was the last of its kind, and to the crowd...unknown

The man held his hand up to silence the crowd

and took a deep breath, prepared to read out loud

three-quarter million words, sent from God above

summed up in one word...and that word was love

The Word is love, and love is the Word

Love is the greatest noun ever heard

Love is divine, pure and superb

Put love into action...and make it a verb
