Sacrifice
April 14, 2014
Bang!
Slash! Slice!
Tearing flesh.
Sobs and screams.
Cries of anguish.
Broken body,
Dragging along.
Golgotha:
Place of Skulls.
Clang! Clash!
Nails pierce,
Skin squishes.
“Stop them!”
-a mother's cry.
Blood raining down.
Crown of thorns.
King of the Jews.
“Father, forgive them!
They know not what they do!”
Dark sky at noon.
Weeping and wailing.
“It is finished.”
