Golgotha
Golgotha (The Place of the Skull) You paid it all at calvary. The cross was planted in the ground suddenly. Outside the Jerusalem walls. It was the greatest suffering of all. Alone on the cross. Till this day, no one has forgotten. Another cross on the left and on the right. In darkness the lightning...

*I normally don't like notes with poems but, a couple of things: I thought it would be interesting to capture the moment of Jesus' execution from the viewpoint of a non-believer. in addition, I wrote it to point out that it is Jesus' death as an integrity keeping man, not his birth as a child,...

The Road To Golgotha
The route is long and my destination is far , The hot white sun, is beating on me ten times harder than before . I stumble and I fall, yet again I rise because the road to golgotha is worth the fight . They want to slaughter me just like a lamb yet I am willing to pay for the...

It Was Only Noon , But Dark As Night, One Friday
I When the man whose blood ran as fecund streams Gave up His last breath, darkness fell like judgment It would hang from midday, one Friday, for hours At three that afternoon, at a nearby Temple The thick curtains, at least a meter deep, ripped From top to bottom, revealing the inner sanctum Was it an invitation? Come to Me without an...

I Fear No More
I fear no more For death gives forever life In death, life is known But without death I’m dead Death is no death since it bears the life But to live is death if I fear to die Life, there is in a cross gently born In painful patience and meekness In rugged road to Golgotha Perfecting redemption of man Life there is in blood...

Hideous hill, crested with crosses. Skulls scattered among sandstone rock. Ghastly gems, grim reminders them, of hapless souls that hung on thee. Haunted hill, hideout of demons. Where wretched souls are lifted high, on beams that mimic human frame, to gasp for breath, and slowly die. On thee, the Son of God was hung, upon a cross, with thorns for crown. He bore the penalty...

Ummm... . Sometimes when I linger in between the absolutes, I look toward Heaven for some kind of cue, But it seems as if Heaven is reluctant to move. I’m impatiently waiting not sure what to do. Again it seems like I’m the only one in the room, Who hears the hushed whispers Of the unseen Truth. . The frenzied crowd cries out for blood, And...

Golgotha
#Golgotha Is it true that all humans will die? If yes, then why do we still cry? I once saw a ghost fly It flew far away into the sky All I heard it say was good bye Till when will our tears dry? We sometimes wish we knew why Why death feels no pain or even shy ...

Galilee To Golgotha
Galilee to Golgotha He came as a Babe in a lowly manger In Bethlehem from Galilee Annals of time had prophesied Messiah would come to set man free Not through the realms of royalty But by meager and modest means Free from pollution of humanity Untainted by mankind's genes As a youth, He marveled the elite When in the temple, He appeared Rulers who once felt...

Bathed In the Anguish of Golgotha
I am a dog of Caanan. Protector of Israels settlements, and scavenger of the deserts. Cowed in movement and strangled with inhuman voice, I feed upon the waste of the crowds that gather about your lingering soul Traipsing around the anguish of the Golgotha crucified, I smell their departing vapours. Yet, each step around your fading ruin ignites a...
