Who are you…


Christ came.
Christ went.
But why crucify
love’s goodness intent?

Why suffer fools idle play?
Why convert love as hate
and make little inroads
as to why in your heart
you died a deathly lament?

Who are you …
as crucified, lost, abandoned
no help in sight?

What possesses man to stray
make a marriage and children
leave and not come back?

And in this climate of turbulence
why birth anything,
least of which
is that of suffering, pain,
insidiousness and regret?



.

You walk and talk as Christian souls.
You have an umbrella
but are you protected from yourselves?

Anguish marks a spot
stains the purity of one’s love inside
blocks the flow of a passion-filled life.

So, why walk with a God
as greed
when lust and corruption
is your only seed?

Make or break
eventually what then
crucify even me
the right to speak poetically?
