Why I Chose To Die On The Cross

 Why I Chose To Die On The Cross

Once I was very poor

Very poor

In Palestine

And all of the people 

Were very poor

In Palestine

Except the 3%

With the Romans

And they taxed us

Three times

Taking 40%

And we were starving to death

We were starving to death

Some dying

On the cross

In plain sight

For all to see

Why did I

Choose to die

On the cross?

I wanted to die

On the cross

With the souls

Who were suffering

The most.

They were all

Gods

People

On the cross

All God’s people

As were the Romans

And the “royal” House Of Herod

And the Sadducees

And the Pharisees

With their sicknesses

Their power

And greed.

All Gods People

Forgive them

Mother and Father

For they know not

What they do

Not then

And not now.
