He was not spared the hatred they felt <br />For he looked like all the rest of his kind <br />They knew him without knowing him <br />He was judged without trial or jury <br />His back was flogged and then flogged some more <br />On the way to Calvary <br />Such a heavy cross was required <br />To carry the worlds sins <br />That he might die for man to live <br />They heard his voice and recognized his dialect <br />They profiled his headdress and his robe <br />He was crucified as a thief <br />He arose as the Holy Ghost <br />And so…. <br />It is to him that on this day <br />I hereby commit my soul for eternity <br />As I dropp twenty one Oxycontin and drink <br />An entire bottle of rum….. <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christ-what-have-i-gone-and-done/
