The following is part of a new poetry project that re-imagines hymns from "The Baptist Hymnal" published in 1991. Along the way I will post some of the poems. Enjoy.

#113 – We Three Kings
We three kings
have risked our lives
in pursuit
of all.
Of power.
Of control.
Of people.
Of all.
We never stopped
being kings.
We only found
that nobody ever wins.
When you’re a king
someone is always
happier
when you’re not there.
