The Message (The 40 words Challenge!!)
Hated for virtue steady
Upheld faith rarely knew
His world wasn’t ready
For His love shining through
The taunts and heavy lashes felled
The accusations all untrue
Senseless, unjust mob swelled
Every punch and slur they threw
‘Jesus’ was heard.
Upheld faith rarely knew
His world wasn’t ready
For His love shining through
The taunts and heavy lashes felled
The accusations all untrue
Senseless, unjust mob swelled
Every punch and slur they threw
‘Jesus’ was heard.

About this poem:
I was greatly inspired by the 40 words 'style' of poetry used by Joyce Hemsley and shared by Martina on the corner recently when she shared Joyce's poem 'Martina' so I gave this style a go and submit my own 40 word poem. Will others please give this challenge a chance? The only rule is the poem must contained exactly 40 words!Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them.

I enjoyed doing this, thank you for the idea, there is nothing wrong with Jesus, he was the greatest man who ever lived.
Superb write!
I like the way you further emphasized the message at the very end!
Enjoyed the humor! (whether it's your intention or not)
