A Sonnet From Christ

SONNET FROM CHRIST I never thought of coming to this evil land My father sent me though it wasn't a command I was invisible until I turned dust It was my father's wish thus a must You were all uncircumcised until I arrived finally I came to set you free I was not unaware of the pain I would go through They debased me because of you I was virtually nude when they hanged me on that transit tree My father's wish came to pass untrammeled You whom I freed went back and stumbled After I sacrificed my blood, you subjected me to disdain My father sometimes feels I came to toil in vain You hide behind the facade of my commemoration and escalate my pain
