For The Son of Man rode upon my back.
Heaven on Earth resting upon my feet.
And all those shouts were, in fact,
Shouts of Joy that make my Life so Sweet.

The Donkey
BY G. K. CHESTERTON
When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.
The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.
Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.
Ping
So good!
For The Son of Man rode upon my back.
Heaven on Earth resting upon my feet.
And all those shouts were, in fact,
Shouts of Joy that make my Life so Sweet.

G.K. Chesterton, a gift to the world.
The Donkey, one of Gods greatest’s members of the animal kingdom. Damn smart too.
wonderful poem.
Thank you for sharing this.
May His peace be yours today
Solomon also rode a donkey into Jerusalem. Just saying.
It figures you would compare Solomon to Jesus Christ.
Not surprised.
“It figures you would compare Solomon to Jesus Christ.
Not surprised.”
I am missing the comparison part, here. Who appointed Solomon?
You miss a lot.
I guess I’ll die full of regrets, then. Oh, well. :D
Very, very beautiful.
Chills.
Typology ... Solomon is a type of Christ, and also a type of antiChrist (the original 666 guy).
