the final Word
"It is finished!"
Words spoken, No, shouted, from a death bed.
Following the pronouncement of having been forsaken.
Left alone, deserted, strung out to die.
Calling for a father who has turned his back
Unable to cast his eyes on a son so full of disappointments,
Shame.
Broken dreams; shattered hopes.
What had become out of all that was possible.
And so, "It is finished" - signalling the end, the final deathblow?
But wait, one final move...
The twist occurs!
Hands are revealed
Pointing towards a long-held thought-out plan.
Victor is shown as victim
Vanquished emerges Victorious
In this new light "It is finished" is seen
Not as the loser's last bid cry of defeat
But as a new "In the beginning..."
