~The Passion~
On Holy knees He prayed, for the strength to take the thrown stones. For He knew of what was to come.
As the serpent watched, grin spread wide. Split tongue flicks in anticipation. Unaware of what was to come?
Betrayer arrives on the heels of ignorant men. Tried to hide but forced to confront his own demons.
Captured? Displayed in front of hatred so deep. Mans fear of facing the truth. Must break this mirror before we see.
Spit upon, slapped in the face. For the evil of silence.
Dragged, kicked, beaten, whipped, whipped, whipped... taken to knees whipped, whipped, rising to feet amidst a pool of Blood.. beaten to the ground.
Mother, forced by love to witness the inevitable turture. Feeling every lash, tearing of flesh.
Shackled awaiting the verdict. Given the choice, release the murderer, for him we can relate. The blasphemer now belongs to us. Must dispose of the truth.
Carrying the burden of the unbearable weight. Dragging His end through the streets. Evil on one side, love on the other. No life remains in this battered frame. The Passion drives on.
Atop the hill, the stakes are driven. The cross is raised. "You are all forgiven"
