The Motorcade and the Parade

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: April 5, 2009

Obama's reception in London is no Palm Sunday parade…

The way our President was hailed
in Londonderry Town,
you'd almost think the Queen should offer
him a throne and crown.

The tabloids heralded Barack
as almost like a God.
But such a claim is poppycock,
ridiculous and odd.

The chants and cheers that greeted
the Obama's motorcade
cannot compare to praise and palms
that marked a grand parade.

Messiah's glory can't be shared
by kings or presidents.
The Kingdom of our coming Christ
will dwarf all governments.
