Immaculate Performance

By Mr King

Immaculate Performance


Mrs. Martin's Class performance of my poem...

Immaculate Conception

-//-

Out of a frying pan...
And into fire...

Out of which rises...
A phoenix...

Like the transformation of a caterpillar into...
A butterfly...

Like a sand irritation inside of an oyster becomes...
A pearl...

Like coal compressed for thousands of years becomes...
A diamond...

Like we were born to live through our struggle to learn in this life...
And to stand victorious over it all...

Immaculate!

Free now together and in the moment next...
