POEMS - 2006 - Christ And Da Vinci

CHRIST AND DA VINCI

Da Vinci … lived in Italy,

Christ … created Italy.

Da Vinci … created art,

Christ … created Da Vinci.

Da Vinci … held an artist’s brush,

Christ … held Da Vinci’s soul in the palm of His hand.

Da Vinci … invented machines,

Christ … has no need of them.

Da Vinci … wrote enigma,

Christ … wrote Da Vinci's mind.

Da Vinci … is Leonardo’s last name,

Christ … announces "The anointed one!"

Da Vinci … his works can be seen in a museum,

Christ … His works can be seen in your mirror.

Da Vinci … his art can take your breath away,

Christ … determines how many breaths you will take before you die.

Da Vinci … impresses the kings of the earth,

Christ … judges the kings of the earth.

Da Vinci … spent most of his days in a small room,

Christ … is omnipresent.

Da Vinci … the exaggerated of Hollywood,

Christ … the bane of Hollywood.

Da Vinci … a very gifted man,

Christ … a gift to mankind.

Da Vinci … the centre of hoop-la,

Christ … the centre of DNA.

Da Vinci … if only he were alive to tell his side of the story,

Christ … still is, but who will listen?
