Condemned To Repeat

The Pharisees vengeance,
unleashing again

To kill a ‘false’ prophet,
their fear redescends 

The cross is made ready,
like ages before

The nails though still rusty,
hammer deep and secure

Their memories short sighted,
rejecting the fact

The last one they crucified…
 alive and intact

A new Resurrection
they’re about to ensure

Through hatred and envy
—damnation procured
