THE HISTORIC CROSS

jvl narasimha rao

 

Christmas reminds me of the Historic cross

And the irrepairable loss and the inhuman laws

Jesus has wanted to serve his people

And has tried to protect them like his  own pupil

 

Man is an evil by his very nature

He can’t understand Jesus’ ethical stature

And is ignorant of his benevolent feature

Undoubtedly the meanest creature

 

He has tried to crucify God

It is an inexcusable fraud

Can any human kill the divine Lord?

I believe Jesus is our eternal bard

 

for  human good He has shed his holy blood

Incessant tears come to my eyes like unstoppable flood

Jesus has prayed even for his ghastly traitors

His sanctifying name is written in golden letters

 

Jesus has wanted all of us to love

And has flown the spiritual dove

He is an embodiment of Supreme sacrifice

May his  divine soul purify all human Vice!

    Well, my dear Hindu elder brother, it is a very nice piece. But it misses the fact that since indeed He IS God Almighty He did not want nor have a pious soul, at least according to what I understand from His Bible. He says "...My counsel shall stand and I will do all My pleasure....I have spoken, I will also do it....I have purposed, I will also bring it to pass..." that is, if I am not being too bold to contradict you.

        Hmm, my dear elder brother, that is very sweet of you....let me think a moment....since it is His blood that cleanses, and yet His soul was made an offering for sin.....maybe you put "Divine" instead? That is my thinking presently.

          I know that Christians may object to certain usages because I have submitted more than 40 poems to world last chance.com.I want to know your opinion about the site.
          Since I did not want to repeat the adjectives I used Pious instead of divine.I respect your sentiments because you know more about the Bible and christ than me
          yours jvl

            Hmm, I shall try to look at the site soon. Presently I am rather busy, but hopefully I can do it for you before the month is out. Were the responses there terribly negative and insulting? Unfortunately "Christians" are frequently very UNChristian these days. And I do not mind your using "pious"...it is your poem afterall, do as you like... I have nothing against you, my dear elder brother, and like you very well. Thanks for being such a nice brother to me.

              Dear Cheeky, The comments were never negative.But the site administrator Galal doss used to object certain unbiblical usages suchas you have just pointed out.On the whole the site was quite encouraging excepy a few persons who suggested that I should not write christian poems as I am a Hindu
              yours loving brother
