“Pierced”



Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

“Pierced”

Needle sharp to feel
desolation of the earth
would it all be wasted
would Malachi know
roots and branches
all destroyed – lost
what a terrible cost
feeling heated lances
no longer to grow
vinegar – bile tasted
ashamed from birth
pierced unable to heal!
