The Champion
by Carman

In the vast expanse of a timeless place

Where Silence ruled the outer space
Ominously towering it stood
The symbol of a spirit war
Between the one named Lucifer, and the Morningstar, the ultimate of good.

Enveloped by a trillion planets

Clean as lightning, and hard as granite
A cosmic coliseum would host the end,
Of the war between the lord of sin and death
And the omnipotent creator of man's first breath
Who will decide, who forever will be.....

The audience for the fight of the ages was assembled and in place.
The angels came in splendor from a star.

The saints that had gone before were there, Jeremiah, Enoch, Job.
They were singing the song of Zion on David's harp.
The demons arived, offensive and vile, cursing and blaspheming God

Followed by their trophies dead and gone.

Hitler, Napoleon, Pharoh, Capone, tormented, vexed, and grieved
And waiting for their judgment from the throne.

Then a chill swept through the mammoth crowd

And the demons squealed with glee
As a sorid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt.
Arrogantly prancing, hands held high, draped in a sparkling shroud,
Trolled by demons, Satan ascended from Hell.

Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned, the demons reeled in pain
As as swell of power like silent thunder rolled.
With a surge of light beyond intense illuminating the universe,
In resplendent glory appeared the Son of God.

Then a persona, yes, extraordinaire appeared in center ring.

God the Father will oversee the duel.

Opening the Book of Life, each grand stand hushed in awe

As majestically he said, "Now, here's the rules:
He'll be wounded for their transgressions, bruised for iniquities."
When he said, "By His stripes they're healed," the devil shook.
He said, "Sickness is my specialty - I hate that healing junk."
God said, "You shut your face - I wrote the book."
 Then the Father looked at His only son and said,
"You know the rules. Your blood will cleanse their sin and calm their fears."
Then he pointed His finger at Satan and said,
"And I know you know the rules,
You've been twisting them to deceive my people for years."
Satan cried, "I'll kill you Christ! You will never win this fight."
The demons wheezed, "That's right, there ain't no way."
Satan jeered, "You're dead meat Jesus, I'm gonna bust you up tonight."

Jesus said, "Go ahead, make my day!"

The bell, the crowd, the fight was on, and the Devil leaped in fury.
With all his evil tricks he came undone.
He threw his jabs of hate and lust, a stab of pride and envy,
But the hands that knew no sin blocked every one.
Forty days and nights they fought and Satan couldn't touch Him.
Now the final blow saved for the final round.
Prophetically Christ's hands came down and Satan struck in vengeance.
The blow of death fell Jesus to the ground.

The devils roared in victory, the saints shocked and perplexed

As wounds appeared upon His hands and feet.

The Satan kicked Him in His side and blood and water flowed

And they waited for the ten count of defeat.

God the Father turned His head. His tears announcing Christ was dead.
The ten count would proclaim the battle's end.
The Satan trembled through his sweat in unexpected horror yet,
As God started the count by saying, "...10..."
Hey wait a minute God,
"...9..."
Stop, you're counting wrong,
"...8..."
His eyes are moving...
"...7..."
His fingers are twitching...
"...6..."
Where's all this light coming from...
"...5..."
He's alive
"...4..."
Oh no...
"...3...2..."
Oh yes
He has won!

He has won!
He's alive forevermore, He is risen, He is Lord.
He has won!
 He has won!
He's alive forevermore, He has risen, He is Lord.

Proclain the news in every tongue, through endless ages and beyond.
Let it be voiced from mountains loud and strong,
Captivity has been set free, salvation bought for you and me,
Cause Satan is defeated and Jesus is THE CHAMPION!

I KILLED HER
by
anonymous

I killed her because I do love her.

These hands, these hands that give life to many, killed her because of my love to her. Ladies and
Gentlemen of this honorable court, please listen to me, listen to my story before you give my
verdict. I am Dr. Reyes, a cancer specialist. I was born in a slum district of Batalon. I was
nourished with hope that someday I might live a life different from her. My mother had a burning
faith that she turned the nights into days. All her efforts were not in vain for I pushed through with
flying colors. My mother who had given her whole life to me had tears in her eyes as she pinned
the gold medal on my proud breast.
Later on, I was sent as a scholar of the Philippines to the United States of America. I embraced my
mother… tightly as I've reached the plane….."Mother, mother,.." I whispered. You will always be
my best mother in the world. After four years, I came back with laurels. I became a cancer
specialist. I gave my mother everything but I was too late. I who had used to ease the pain of
many, came too late to the life of my dying mother.
I gave the best treatment but the grasp of death was so tight around her. My God, what is the use
of ten years of study if I couldn't even use it at my mother's pain. Then one night, I heard a strange
cry. I run to her room. "Do you love me, child?"… she asked, as I embrace her. " Yes, mother….. If
only I could get all your pain and agonies…" " Then….. if you love me, end my sufferings, kill me…
Let me die." "But, mother, I promise to give life and not to end it." God….
She did not deserve the unhappiness. She deserves to be happy. I run to my room and came back
with a syringe. "Mother, forgive me…. God, please understand me…." "Mother, mother, you must
not die….. Don't leave, I love you. It was only a distilled water…..Mother…… Mother…….
MOTHER……" Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, give me your verdict. Yes, it was only distilled water
which ended the sufferings of my mother. Judge me….. Punish me……… GO, punish
me………….. Thy will be done!!!
