looking down upon the shadow before me;
trudging steadfastly towards the hill;
sweat stinging my wounds inflicted by
splinters makes the journey unbearable;

it's difficult to see through sacrifices
pouring into my eyes from the razor sharp
crown, back bending from the weight of the
beam and yet, my spirit is still intact...

I must complete this walk, the path laid
out before me for I know that with each
step, another generation is redeemed;

harsh words shouted at me, cutting and
tearing at my heart, (little do they
know this is done for their protection.)

I reach the conclusion, collapsing from
pure exhaustion, thinking the path is
complete yet the task is undone; my
journey will end when the debt is paid;

the score of blind rage, tearing at me
like rabid dogs hunting me like a lamb
that strayed from the pack (little do
they realize, my stray was by choice)

could they not see the unblemished coat?
white and pure like the driven snow could
they not see that others like me were the
scapegoats for their incredulous activities?

I, sinless and innocent, against the hunters,
led by their master, the ruler of pestilence
and sin with his Trinity of Iniquities
laughing from below;

I rest as they drive hardened hearts
into my left wrists, hatred into my right,
lust and desire into my feet, then pierce
my side with surgical sharp doubt;

arrogance, greed, rejection, perversion, corruption,
addiction, piercing my head, reminding me of why I
stand on bent knees upon this pole of resolution
watching the title paced upon my head
"THE KING OF THE JEWS"

I, Adam, last Adam, Alpha and Omega, Bread of
Life, Good Shepherd, Lamb of God, Lord of Glory,
Emmanuel, Son of Man, Seed of Abraham, Savior,
Holy One Of God can rest upon the weight of my
chore and look to the sky to proclaim,

"FORGIVE THEM FATHER, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO..."

the debt is paid, yet, the journey continues...
 
watching and listening...

...i see. coz you just carved out, from the throes of blood-letting, a masterful work. let he who wields a wicked heart, recognize. let him who slash with the blade of hatred, still his soul. let all who read these words, acknowledge its worth...

you continually impress me, dnommo.

THANKS FOR THE WORDS, POET.
