Born to destroy

After I John 3:1-8

A strange birth,

a strange calling, this,

a stranger destiny,

born to destroy the work

of evil, the edifice

constructed on lies

and flourishing, growing

a black blossoming,

fruitful in fertile soil

of bent desire, the worship

of self. So he comes

to divide, to separate,

to set aside, to destroy,

to save.
