Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. 
For this I was born and for this I came into the world, 
to testify to the truth.” 
(Jn 18:37) 

As plants become
the earth
are fed by earth

we 
rooted in
Christ
become Christ

to deny this
is
to deny Truth
to abort
ourselves
from Truth

and the
consequence
is death

and here lies the
mystery
of the deference
the respect

of our Father

he will not
coerce
or force our
love—

and here lies the
mystery
of our selves

that having seen
light 
we choose darkness

having lived in
Truth
we prefer the lie
