--------------/A Proxy: The Second Station: Jesus takes up his Cross - Jesus' Thoughts Before Lifting the Cross He Was To Be Crucified With


By this cross compulsive addicts cruelly often capriciously crushed
jeers in the air spittle in my hair sliding down
erstwhile heroic Roman soldiers devolved: corrupt callous compassionless
eyes that squint to ethics and fairness
my cheeks bruised from fists thrown fiercely with fury tears
from children confused by calamity caustic words from enslaved masses
from synagogues marching armed with epithets the whips
punctuating their words with the grief of those cognizant of their fates:
ghastly - grimacing in gruesome pits of abandon -Abaddon stoking the fire
of hell with the souls of these condemned spewing venom of insecurity.
scorching and
blazing of men's consciousnesses. A burden too heavy for prostitutes
to bear
stricken by shameful solitude and nightmares of worthlessness the gambler
evades my gaze, chronic sweats the proud and haughty who heckle the haggard poor flee the light of truth, adulterers abdicate.
Who can carry the angst of generations...in their baseness too weakened
and without a shred of dignity on (beams of wood and bloody)?
These outward emanations fruit borne of a wicked seed sown, not the will
of a father but a derelict denying his duty to love, a levite losing his faith
and a sacrifice superficially offered smoke of insincerity rising to heaven a repugnant stench
submitted, by the Father then summarily spurned; hatred of the holy (One)
essentially
compounded
by the indisputable innate and self evident truth of justice's beauty found
in the clouds and the lush green foliage in spring
and the serenity of a snowfall in winter a man stepping on it for the first time
pensively reflecting on past years
acquiescing that his misdeeds have sullied her
they all inwardly seek someone with strength enough to set them free
for the sake of lasting joy to take their sin and walk with it


----------/Matthew 27:27-32
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
