It Was Silent.....2
They were Power drunk,
But then, there was, a Power shift.
The allegation was that
He blasphemed, He made Himself
Equal with God, equal with YAHWEH!
He was thirty and three years,
And His history they know,
Like the back of their hands.
A nobody! A commoner!
The Son of a carpenter!
And what if, He was anointed!
Such effrontery, disgusting,
Avid of a show....
Who does he think, He is?
"Before your father Abraham was, I AM"?
Blasphemy! Blasphemy! They shrieked.
It reiterated in their subconscious
It fuelled their rage
And powered their whims and craftiness
It gave momentum to their quest
Unleashing unimaginable hatred.
Jesus had to die! die! die! die!
The echo sounded beyond
Their beings, piercing through
The ethers of the universe
Creations went silent!
Something was about to happen.
His blood dripped and dropped
The earth soaked and cleansed.
Yes! God was crucified!
Naked! Beaten! Scourged! And wounded!!!
Drenched in His own blood
He was made to drag logs of wood
Fashioned into a cross
Disfigured beyond recognition,
He dragged the cross all the way.
God, was trodden, and, He was
without an iota of shame, hate
Nor any evil schemes on His mind.
Like a common thief He was disdained.
Like a wanted criminal He was Hung.
Blood shot eyes, screeched
And scratched voices
Pangs like thunder bolts
Hit heads and hearts
As that Man from Galilee
Gave up the ghost!
At last! Phew! Victory!
He is dead! We can rest!
They sighed! they rejoiced!
What they didn't know
Lies ahead.....
Far into a realm beyond them.
An emergence of a new beginning.....

Happy Easter to you all.
