He passed away, to no one's regret
2 Chronicles 21:20
He passed away
He ceased to breathe
His body now empty of all but flesh
The way of all the world had come his way
He had caused so much death, but now it had arrived on his doorstep
In life as in death
Lonely and alone
No one cared
Not friend or child, not wife or lover
No one would miss him
People that had bowed at his footstool
We're now glad that he had gone
His bucket had been truly kicked
He was dead and deadened
He had been raised up but was now erased
He had decreased and was now deceased
He had gone off the rails and was now gone for good
He had no honour
No help in his affliction
No support in his misery
He showed no remorse
No penitence
No apology
No admission of guilt
What then was his legacy?
He opposed the purpose of God
There would be no burial with the kings
No one regretted his demise
