Palm Sunday Poem by Larisa Rzhepishevska

The palm branches in churches,
The light of candles resembles
Jesus glorious entry to Jerusalem.
Psalms the Christians sing, glorious hymn.
He was healing the sick,
He was raising the dead.
It looked as a magic
When He turned a stone into bread.
A Prince of Peace!
He wished to increase Love.
He has come to set up
A kingdom of freedom,
A kingdom of wisdom and love,
A bloodshed war to end up.

It’s a Palm Sunday today.
Without any delay
We should remember His path and His message.
Safe the Earth and don’t do any damage!
Jesus laid down His life for the sins of the world,
For me and you to lead a peaceful way of living,
Forgiving the enemies and showing love to all,
Without looking for revenge.
Violence and justice together look so strange.

Many centuries have passed since Jesus life,
But humanity still prefer a strife.
Is it our human nature to capture or wait for manna?
The same crowd that was crying out “Hosanna”
Was crying out “crucify Him” five days later.
Lovers turned into haters.
