The Trip

A trembling earth, A backward trip in time. Can this be as it seems? Long gone, those who assailed, who cried give us Barabbas. Perhaps a dream? Where are those who mourned? I ponder now, my wit being at loss, As I behold three rusty nails, Blood stained, on an empty cross. Why was I chosen That this scene I should see? In truth I cannot say. Perhaps but a reminder, Though God loved me then, I'm loved as much today.

The ones who do this have no care for us or themselves it is no use entreating them. Just know you can still make a happy life for you and that is YOUR job. The "abandoners failed their job". Light & Love
