Crucified

Christianity slips away in times like these; 
 ashamed of crimes committed.
 Bloodshed without remorse
 tears out the heart of the innocent.

 Unfeeling the mighty
 ride the steeds of Satan
 as they unleash their barbarity.
 Using and abusing to their advantage.

 Twisted Mankind sees no wrong in
 destroying Mother Nature and
 crucifying its fellow creatures.

 “They are lesser beings”, 
 “they feel no pain” taunts the 
 Son of Adam.
 
 The crucified line a dark road
 in Man’s triumphant blasphemy.
 
 A calf can be heard calling out
 for its mother in the darkness.
 Whilst a lamb hangs limply oozing blood.


 A lamb was once before crucified.
 Blessed are the meek.
