AFTER  ALL  IT  WAS  A  SUICIDE

 

 

After all it was a suicide

Of unprecedented type.

Here the hero is a coward

Of predicted type-

A prejudiced rebel.

 

He was frustrated- dejected

For he said, “you will cry and weep,

But the world will be glad”

After all it was a suicide

For he said, “Put your sword back in its place.”

 

He was silent before Pilate

And Pilate washed his hands in silence.

Then the crowd shouted like a roaring sea;

“Kill him; set Barabas free for us.”

It was a suicide for he did feign impotent.

 

He who converted water, wine

He who fed five thousand, said;

“I am thirsty” , Thirst?

After all it was a suicide

Of a thirsty man without thirst.

 

 

They divided his clothes

They gambled for his robes

Then he was wrapped and buried-

it was a suicide for he left the tomb

Leaving the shroud-the wretched remnant of the world.

 

After all it was a suicide

Of a coward! A prejudiced rebel!

For he did appeared first

Before Marry Magdalene

Even after resurrection.
