The Numerous Crucifixions of One Man ~ Bob MCNEIL

The Numerous Crucifixions of One Man

One Lamb of a Man

Often let his body’s aspects reset

Into whatever the biased

And calloused despised.

Sometimes the changes

Were ethnical,

Racial or sexual.

Many thought

The Lamb of a Man was harmful.

Bearing RED hatefulness,

WHITE supremacists 

Had a drought in their BLUE eyes

When they killed that Lamb of a Man.

32 seconds beyond then,

Found in another location,

Bearing RED hatefulness

And GOLD teeth,

Black supremacists

Killed that same Lamb of a Man

To glom his GREEN.

His tempest-uncalm mom

Could not observe

Another undeserved slaughter 

Of what her divinity-ensured uterus served. 

The father,

While having the appearance

Of a mist,  

Did resist

Viewing his son 

Join another obit list.

Prior to every time

The Lamb of a Man was killed,

His request spilled,   

   “Father, forgive them.”

32 seconds beyond then,

Resurrected, undaunted,

The Lamb of a Man

Found other mortals to be tested.
