Jesus: He Is Me

The sun is bright as 
ever, washing me in 
bands of heat, I'm 
hanging in the air 
as nails impale my 
hands and feet,

I know that I am 
dreaming on some 
night I'm deep in 
sleep, I'm dreaming 
that I'm Jesus, I am 
Him and He is me.

The pain is unlike 
anything I've ever 
felt before, I hear 
some scream for 
blood while I hear 
others yell for more,

they have me on 
what looks to be a 
wooden crucifix, my 
body's like the 
letter 'T', you should 
envision this,

But me I feel the 
horror from the 
beatings that they 
gave, while some 
would call it torture, 
I endured it just to 
save,

humanity's 
descendants but 
my name is used in 
vain, I feel my life is 
draining as my 
head descends in 
shame.

I perservered for 
many hours, 9 to be 
exact, to witness 
this would render all 
your mentals non-
intact,

just picture me a 
moment, on the 
cross betweenst 2 
thieves, they broke 
their legs and 
knees but they did 
not do this to me.

I smell a scent and 
think of death, it's 
all inside my mind, 
I'm shrouded as I 
die but I will surely 
have my time,

for 3 days later here 
I am, I died to rise 
again, atoning for 
the sins of all the 
women and the 
men.

The children of this 
world should 
comprehend the 
very role, I play 
inside of daily life to 
save their very soul,

just look at modern 
day events, the 
evidence is clear, 
no need for me to 
verify the end is 
very near.

Some folks will 
think of church, that 
very thought will 
make them hurt, 
well ponder the 
alternative, there're 
some who'll make it 
worse,

while yes I love the 
lot of you, my 
children one and all, 
you have to make it 
better otherwise 
you're gonna fall.

I wake up in my bed 
amidst a startle, oh 
I'm safe, I race into 
the bathroom and 
the mirror shows 
my face,

I wipe the sweat 
realizing everything 
that seems to be, 
that ALL of us are 
Jesus, I am Him, 
and He is me.
