King For A Day Poem by Isunge Mwangase

When a king sits on his throne to judge,
He winnows out all evil with his eyes
Then after, what he sees as small or large-
The evil, does he sentence with years,
Who can say, 'I have kept my heart pure;
I am clean, law abiding and without sin
Risking not thru his tongue himself perjure? '
Tis by actions that hearts one will win.
Only God's lantern searches man's spirit-
Every corner of his inmost being
Where deeds seen- deeds unseen are writ
And words spoken or unspoken are wrung,
Who through his son all find atonement,
For he judges even a king's judgement.
