Homage To Him Poem by Jennifer BrownBanks

Homage To Him

Rating: 1.0


There ought to be a religion named in your honor—
For all the skeptics you made converts,
For those of us who gave sacrifice at the altar,

We who loved and clung to you
With cult-like passion

Your words were Gospel
Your touch touted
The powers of healing

We sought salvation
In your promises

Your powers of seduction
Supreme to mere mortals
Your hold on the soul-eternal
