--Luke 23:39-------WEAK---I am the thief on the cross mocking----(the
parting words of the thief crucified next to Jesus)----



AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
THE NAILS IN MY HANDS THROBBING

A king with a crown lopsided
Thorns perforating
Blood from your forehead pouring
Blood mixed with sweat
Dripping (in agony)
Into your eyes stinging
I look into Your face and watch you
Grimace
And your body writhe

A ruler absent from His throne
Stymied by wood and nails
A sight for the world to see
publicly held high
A cabal of roman soldiers unified
Beating You and stripping You
Of dignity
Tears flow down your cheeks
That even Your pride
Is too weak to halt
They revel in Your disgrace
You merely
Acquiesce

How can You save a lost world
Dying condemned to
FLAMES of decimation and
Given the placard to hold
"Forsaken?"
What strength is left in
Your brittle bones?

I wanted to marry Rebecca St. James
And to get straight A's in college
Most high accomplishments were
Denied me...the Virginia tech gunman roamed
Free
Freely Iraqi insurgents kill our American troops
Kids in Africa die starving
Bugs inhabiting their flesh

The nails in your hands
Embedded so deeply
The tips of your fingers blue and numb
You are disappointment personified
An accomplice to the world perishing
You did nothing to save us
You did nothing to save Yourself


(How can you save us? You can't even save Yourself)
