Christ Still Cries For Humanity

Since the death of our glorious Jesus
there have been lots of conflicting beliefs;
He has been called the Savior by believers,
but betrayed by one of His own: Judas.

Christ still cries for Humanity
and its lack of sympathy
as He did on crucifixion day:
a flagellated, broken body;
a bloody face scorned by
crowds of menacing fools!
Even Peter fled, the leader
who swore loyalty to him! 
God heard His son's cry,
with fury He stroke Jerusalem:
making the Temple shake,
filling the murky air with woes!

The High Priest feared that
the resurrection was a hoax, 
he asked Pilate to post guards 
by the sepulcher inside the garden;
a big stone was rolled to block it,
the Roman soldiers were tested... 
three days passed and the stone 
rolled away! Christ had finally risen! 

Christ still cries for Humanity,
for its selfishness which will bring doom,  
He died for all, regardless of race and creed!
He's the shepherd of humility! Behold Him!
He is more powerful than any earthly
heavily-guarded kingdom; no army can
defeat Him, before the end is near,
He will claim total supremacy!
