Allegiance

in poetry •  7 years ago 

I do not owe allegiance to a flag
Or a nation, or a book
I don't belong to a religious institution
I am bought with a price, paid for in full

My redemption does not depend
Upon opinions of men
Or a set of behaviors passed down
From generation to generation

You may be my accuser
But my judge resides in
A place beyond time and space
And I live to make peace between God and man

Reconciliation is more than a word
More than a vocabulary builder
More than christianese, it is real
It is the meaning of life on this plane, our purpose

Eternity begins now and
Every moment that passes brings us closer
To the elimination of time and space
To the great reveal of what lies behind the curtain

very nice poetry... "i am bought with a price"... sorry but i have to ask what is that price?

For me, that means the sacrifice of Jesus. In some ways, it's become metaphorical for me, as an example of what a human can do if they give themselves up in service to others. The idea of a God that stepped into time for me, appeals to something in me.
