Amen

Blood-
Dripping from the head like tears
A crown of thorns
That crown representing;
Every mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, 
Yet to come;
Saving us
Through death-
Death that was never pardoned, never ceased
People with sins cast those stones
Who are we to judge?
Who were they to judge?
The fate of the man who brought the word of god to the earth,
Now many say I cannot write about religion,
I cannot write about my belief in Jesus, my belief in God,
The Holy Spirit,
It is taboo to say I am Lutheran-
Since I write about pain and trial,
About death and destruction,
I am forbidden to whisper Jesus on my lips,
For what I write is dark,
And what I write is taboo,
It is inhumane it is violent,
Kanye West was right when he spoke those words,
‘God Show Me The Way Cause The Devil’s Tryin’ To Break Me Down’
I hear you,
I hear you,
Jesus walks, he walks amongst us,
Dare I say Amen?
Dare I?
Amen.
