Back to the Future_Greg Asimakoupoulos-What the ancient practice of beheading points to
In the days of John the Baptist
cruel tyrants filled with hate
would decapitate their captives
serving up their heads on plates.
Fueled by rage and heartless motives
captors used the guillotine
as they executed "justice"
raining red on fields of green.
In Iraq they're still beheading
those they kidnap, torture, maim.
Without thought of humane treatment,
swords and daggers are a game.
Those who do such are the headless.
Mindless monsters, brainless beasts.
These with masks who wield their weapons
are the lowest of the least.
In a world inclined toward evil
what has been will always be
'til the Prince the Baptist promised
ushers in eternity.

Sunday Rhymes & Reasons
Published June 4, 2009
Sunday Rhymes and Reasons is a compilation of inspirational poetry by America's pastor/poet laureate, Greg Asimakoupoulos. In this, his third volume of poetry, Pastor Greg paints word pictures that portray both the struggle and fulfillment that define a life of faith. His repertoire of rhymes celebrate rite-of-passage occasions like birth, baptism, marriage and death as well as the major holidays of the church and culture. It is a volume that illustrates the poet's love of words and of popular culture. The author dips his brush into a paint box of hubris, humor and honesty.
"Gloria and I have been encouraged by word pictures from Greg's pen that have celebrated both our ministry and God's presence in our world." – Bill Gaither, Gospel music composer/performer
"Gifted poet Greg Asimakoupoulos is a dear friend of our family. His poetry blesses, comforts, entertains, and provides inspiration for every season of life." – Natalie Grant, singer/songwriter/recording artist
