ANGELA & BRIAN

LIFE & DEATH OF JESUS ~ ANGELA & BRIAN ~ A DODECET

 

JESUS ON THE CROSS ~ SALVADOR DALI ~ 1951

 

JUDGEMENT DAY ~ BILLIONS STOOD BEFORE GODS THRONE !

What does GOD know ~ and how can He be our Judge ?

Asked a TEEN ~ who drew back her sleeve to reveal 

A tattooed number from AUSWITZCH ~ WE SUFFERED !

What \'bout me said a Negro ~ showing

A rope burn ~ lynched \'cos I was BLACK !

A Pregnant School Girl said ~ Why should I suffer ?

It wasnt my fault ~ I am innocent !

 

Each had their complaint ~ for what theyd suffered

Collectively they presented their case .......

Before GOD could judge ....... He must endure !

Let Him be born on Earth ~ Born as a JEW

Let the legitimacy of His Birth .......

Be doubtful ~ Give Him a difficult job ~ so

His Parents will think Him demented !  Let

Him be betrayed by his closest Friends !

 

Let Him face false charges ~ be condemned ~ and

Tortured ! Let him DIE ~ NAILED TO A CROSS 

Feeling forsaken !  THERE WAS SILENCE ~ THEY

REALISED ~ JESUS HAD PAID HIS SENTENCE !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love A & B 🧡🧡🧡
