Who's That Man On the Cross

Who’s on the Cross And why did he die Who's that Man who caste out demons Brought Lazarus alive What name did you say I’m a little deaf today Who rode a donkey Palm Sunday in Jerusalem And was greeted as the King By the people of Israel Who did you say Say it louder I can't hear Who's the son of God Born in Bethlehem To whom the Virgin Mary Angel Gabriel was sent What did you say Is JESUS here today...

...you know, there are so many beautiful souls that existed 'for us'- but He did really exist. He really ("really" bold, underscore) did go through all of that 'for us'. There is too much factual history for His "journey" to be ignored or scoffed at - I can't imagine Trump, or Obama, or Putin or any other lesser individual with high "political" ambitions to place themselves in a position similar to Jesus who went through all that he did just to prove that he "LOVED" and "BELIEVED" in us all that much ...His story is "THE STORY"...whether He was divinely resurrected, or saved by His family and friends and moved on to live His life out in love with family around Him. His story is "THE STORY". He believed so much in 'us', he went through all of that for 'us'. Surely we could return it tenfold to Him. Look at 'our' world today, we are failing his cause abysmally. His cause is about the power of LOVE. No wimpish reply from me. Beautiful poem, as always Arturo. L

Mere mortal a must...talent to use words, a special gift... how to use it, can't tell you yet...but as soon as I find a way...you will know....keep writing Lady... you've got something GOOD

i'm just a mere painful mortal. I can't stand insipid commentary on profound poems though...I guess that puts me in the ... "god here she goes again" category....must read the other poems I've missed from you over the past few months. I am so far from powerful, it is tragic - I'll settle for ... "she can tell a good story" and on with the next one...and "THE STORY" is the only story worth immortally publishing.

A well written prayer, Arturo--full of faith and worship.

Gershon Wolf

I like the refrain a lot -- as that's our job, to proclaim the Lord's Name here in this world. Muslims, Jews, Christians and others may have different ideas about the exact name of the Deity, but I think we can all agree that infusing our lives with Godliness and holiness is what gives our lives purpose and direction. Best wishes, Gershon
