This one is my own, for what it’s worth. HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, and a reflective one, too.//
FORGIVING THE ROMANS (4-17-14)//
And would you think//
The Christ I know,//
Mounted on his cross,//
Candidate Divine//
For corpsehood,//
Looking through//
His own blood//
At Golgotha -----//
Would you think He//
Would clamor for revenge,//
Like an army sent//
To kill another//
For the sake of those//
Replaced? Not mine://
No God that sweet//
Nor Messenger//
Sought to avenge//
Even as the power lay//
At his hammered feet.//
Yet all those times,//
Cringing from//
The fingernails torn//
Across the chalkboard//
Spelling “History,”//
With supposed men of God//
Leading the chorus,//
“Gloria, Gloria, March!”//
An incessant sickness//
Corrupting our free will//
As cancer corrupts//
Each cell it enslaves -----//
Even then the Chosen One//
Endured and did not//
Kill.
